First of all I agree with you I think the inconsistency could create 
confusion for the end-user.

I'm a TalkBack user and what TalkBack does seems logical for me:
* It indicates "new line" at the end of a line
* It indicates "new line end of field" at the end of a line and editable 
area

On NVDA it is not as good as TalkBack IMHO because it announce "carriage 
return" at the end of a line and then blank at the end of a document 
(tested on Notepad and Wordpad).

I don't have a Voice Over or Jaws to check their behaviour.

Best regards,
Alex.
