Blank lines in properties might be an ok change.
I am not so sure about invalid syntax.
Consider
:PROPERTIES:
:PROP1: val1
:PROP2: this line was
accidentally modified
:END:
Property drawer not being recognized is more likely to be noticed
compared to `org-entry-get' returning incomplete "this line was".
In any case, M-x org-lint will report problems with property drawers.
