And here's a simpler patch that stops code blocks in PDF output from 
starting with a blank line:

Index: detail/actions.cpp
===================================================================

         temp.swap(str);
         phrase.swap(save);

-        out << "<programlisting>\n";
+        //
+        // We must not place a \n after the <programlisting> tag
+        // otherwise PDF output starts code blocks with a blank line:
+        //
+        out << "<programlisting>";
         out << str;
         out << "</programlisting>\n";
     }

Unfortunately, this change causes quite a few of the quickbook tests to fail 
:-(

However, as far as I can tell from testing this, it makes no difference at 
all to (X)HTML output, but does fix the PDF display issue: see attached for 
before and after PDF's.
