emacs -Q

(defun foo (&optional n)
  (interactive "*p")
  (picture-mode)
  (picture-open-line n)
  (picture-move-down n)
  (picture-mode-exit 'keep))

In *scratch*, put point on some text near the middle of the
first line.

M-3 M-x foo

The inserted blank lines are all empty, except the last one.
I believe this is the correct behavior.  Even though a prefix
arg is used, whitespace-only lines other than the one point
is on have all of their whitespace removed.

You can choose to describe this behavior differently than
I did.  But I think you will admit that the current
description is inaccurate, here.
