From includes/SpecialPreferences.php, lines 694-701:

if ($wgAllowRealName || $wgEnableEmail) {
    $wgOut->addHTML("<div class='prefsectiontip'>");
    $rn = $wgAllowRealName ? wfMsg('prefs-help-realname') : '';
    $em = $wgEnableEmail ? '<br />' .  wfMsg('prefs-help-email') : '';
    $wgOut->addHTML( $rn . $em  . '</div>');
}

When $wgAllowRealName is set to false and $wgEnableEmail is set to true, as it
is on (at least to my knowledge) the English Wikipedia and (I know for a fact)
on the Homestar Runner wiki (http://hrwiki.org), the leading <br /> makes the
pink prefsectiontip div look odd.

This occurs in both 1.6.7 and 1.7-svn.
