They are the same message. Look at the kernel time stamp of the second dwc_otg debug message (684022.125383) and the timestamp of the blank message (also 684022.125383).
I can also turn on and off my rule to remove dwc_otg messages and I either get blank lines or the full dwc_otg message. As I mentioned before, I can do this reliably so I know a blank line is being inserted into the /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log files anytime the stop rule is enabled. If the stop rule is disabled then both of those files receive the dwc_otg message.
