Great, we need feedback on the new syntax from using it in the real
world!

I've tried your example and indeed it's not working. I've created the
following issue:
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3258
You can monitor it if you want to follow the progress. I'll be working
on it tomorrow.
For now you can do the following:
{{velocity}}{{html}}
instead of
{{html}}{{velocity}}

This is normal. In the new syntax whitespaces and newlines are honored.
Thus if you want only one new line between line1 and line2 you'd need
to use:
* Line 1
{{velocity}}#set($foo = "bar"){{/velocity}}
* Line 2

Cool. Please keep the feedback coming as you try the new syntax out.
Thanks
