No. It also sets a default for data.

Yes.
This is all documented in the pcreapi page, which says this:
The only time that a line break in a pattern is specially recognized
when compiling is when PCRE_EXTENDED is set. CR and LF are white space
characters, and so are ignored in this mode. Also, an unescaped #
outside a character class indicates a comment that lasts until after
the next line break sequence. In other circumstances, line break
sequences in patterns are treated as literal data.
The newline option that is set at compile time becomes the default
that is used for pcre_exec() and pcre_dfa_exec(), but it can be
overridden.

pcretest did not ignore them. It passed them to pcre_compile().
