Sorry, replace BR with CR. I had 'break' in my head.

This is true, but this occurs because rfc2047 had this deficit to begin with,
and users started using this workaround (as suggested above). The correct 2047
behavior would insert these LF's, rather than expect them to be inserted with a
conditional ${sg.
But yes, not breaking existing configurations seems the appropriate course,
here. Documentation ought to be updated to indicate that rfc2047 doesn't
actually follow rfc2047 to the letter.

I don't have a good understanding of $h_ right now, so I'll look into that
further before commenting on your suggestion there.
