Newlines are tricky. They may or may not be significant.
For example, in CJK paragraphs, newlines are to be stripped.

I think that a reasonable thing to do could be not adding newlines if
the previous object is a plain string ending with a newline.

Subject: [PATCH] org-latex-paragraph: Ensure that paragraphs are not split by
 empty lines

* lisp/ox-latex.el (org-latex-paragraph): If export creates single
paragraph contents with empty lines, remove the empty lines to ensure
that we retain a single paragraph.
