Looking at the code of skeleton.el ... this happens because
`skeleton-end-hook' is run after the insertion.

,----[ C-h v skeleton-end-hook RET ]
| [...]

| Hook called at end of skeleton but before going to point of interest.
| By default this moves out anything following to next line,
|   unless `skeleton-end-newline' is set to nil.
| The variables `v1' and `v2' are still set when calling this.

| Defined in `skeleton'.

Setting `skeleton-end-newline' to nil, does help indeed. But I have
no idea whether this causes trouble elsewhere. Perhaps it is best to
set it buffer locally?
