XWiki syntax escaping duplicates newlines

When escaping text that contains newlines for XWiki syntax and parsing/rendering the resulting text, newlines are duplicated if the original text contained \r\n as line break. This is because $services.rendering.escape escapes \r\n as

~\r~\n

. For example the input

Hello
World
Document

becomes

~H~e~l~l~o~
~
~W~o~r~l~d~
~
~D~o~c~u~m~e~n~t

.
