setValue() does this:

void puaLargeInput::setValue ( const char *s )
{
  if (!s || !*s) {
    puValue::setValue ( "\n" ) ;
    cursor_position = select_start_position = select_end_position = 0 ;

  } else {
    int len = strlen(s);
    if (s[len - 1] == '\n') {
      puValue::setValue ( s ) ;

    } else {
      char *buf = new char [ len + 2 ] ;
      strcpy ( buf, s ) ;
      strcat ( buf, "\n" ) ;
      puValue::setValue ( buf ) ;
      delete [] buf ;
    }
  }

... so for an empty string, "\n" is set automatically. But this branch
also sets the selection variables, which I kept from the old code, and
it's a tad faster. So, yes. It's intentional.
