extra linebreak appearing on php output

All of a sudden, extra linebreaks <br /> are appearing between <label></label> and <input></input> or <option></option> tags throughout the site. This is appearing in pages generated by Theme My Login and WP Courseware.

The php file looks like:

<p class="tml-user-email-wrap">
	<label for="user_email<?php $template->the_instance(); ?>"><?php _e( 'E-mail', 'theme-my-login' ); ?></label>
	<input type="text" name="user_email" id="user_email<?php $template->the_instance(); ?>" class="input" value="<?php $template->the_posted_value( 'user_email' ); ?>" size="20" />
</p>

But the browser renders this out as:

<p class="tml-user-email-wrap">
	<label for="user_email">E-mail</label><br />
	<input type="text" name="user_email" id="user_email" class="input" value="" size="20" />
</p>

This was not the behaviour previously. I removed all customizations from register-form.php and theme-my-login-custom.php to test.

I was able to remove the <br> from generating if I removed all whitespace between the end of label and the beginning of input or option:

</label><input>
