That's not supposed to happen. If I were you, I'd try
- running crontab -l immediately after crontab -e to make sure
that the line was really added,
- using hexdump or xxd or some such to verify that the last line
of /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root really end with a newline,
- running ls -cl /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to know exactly
when it was changed.
- refraining from top-posting, no matter how tempting. :-)
