FWIW, Icicles does this.  If a completion candidate
is multi-line then it is separated from the following
candidate in *Completions* by a blank line (extra
newline).

Candidates are also distinguished in these ways:

* They have property `mouse-face'.  (Separator
  whitespace, including a newline, does not.)

* The "current" candidate (e.g. when cycling) is
  highlighted, which makes it and its limits stand
  out.
