Earlier , pressing enter adds br tag Now it adds <div><br></div> Consider a html 

test1
<br>
test2
<br>
<test3>

Place cursor before test2 , press backspace , test2 goes to previous line html becomes 

test1test2
<br>
test3

Now place cursor between test1 and test2 and press enter, both test1 and test2 becomes wrapped inside <div></div> but the <br> before test3 is removed , The html becomes 

<div>test1</div>
<div>test2</div>
test3


Please look in to this ...

You can press Shift+Enter to get a <br> tag. Enter is supposed to open a new block.

See the discussion in this bug report:
