Turns out there was no need for a general solution, and the fix for videos was very simple: add second (value: 1) and third (value: 0) parameters to the call $templates->get("video_{$video}_embed") in the eval() on the second-to-last line of postParser::mycode_parse_video() in inc/class_parser.php, so that the entire line becomes:

PHP Code:
        eval("\$video_code = \"".$templates->get("video_{$video}_embed", 1, 0)."\";");

Maybe though I can code a little tool to reinsert blank lines where necessary in existing posts after applying the fix, to minimise the breakage.

I ended up writing that tool, and I've just run it on the live database. The posts it has modified are as follows in case anybody wants to check that it hasn't made a mess of their posts:
