The same issue was reported by me as PR 5351:

http://bugs.plt-scheme.org/cgi-bin/gnats-query?who=&pr-number=5351&who-r
esponsible=&pr-state=&query-type=pr-number&args=&submit=Query+bug+report
s

which is still open.

Basically, you have to use multiple message% instances -- newlines in a
single instance won't do what you want.
