I think the following documentations describe this behavior pretty well.

http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/io/trait.Buffer.html#method.lines
http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/io/struct.Lines.html

As the documentation puts, this behavior is intentional as it would be
annoying for casual uses otherwise.
