Not a known problem.  This assertion says that server.el received more
than a single line from emacsclient.  So it may be a problem in
emacsclient where we forget to quote newlines or something like that.

Or it may be something altogether different ;-)

Can you set server-log to t, reproduce the problem and show us the
contents of the " *server*" buffer?
