Gaps between list items are rendered inconsistently for consecutive lists

Steps to reproduce

If you have several lists but no text in between them, the two lists are rendered as one list with large gaps:

- Item
- Item



- Item

No more items.

results in:

Including only a single letter changes this:

- Item
- Item

A

- Item

No more items.

Renders as expected:

EDIT: I forgot to mention, it may be related to this bug (because the strike through also affects more than the list): Nested checkboxes strikethrough through entire block

I actually discovered that by accident with a nested list. It appears that loose, nested lists aren’t clearly defined:
