I really don't see the point of doing (c). Perhaps the reason for
removing newlines in the current 5.1 behaviour has got lost in all this.

With a trailing newline, it is now hard to discern that the line hasn't
been executed: the cursor advances to the next line whether the newline
is accepted or inserted so without the stripping the user is left
waiting until they lose patience. I think that the default behaviour
should cater to normal users who don't follow this list.
I agree that the newline stripping isn't ideal but it seemed the best
option for the short term. And it is possible to work around it with a
custom widget.
