The following diagram

@startuml note-bug
component test
note top of test: first line\nsecond line
note bottom of test
    first line
    second line
end note
@enduml

when exported as XMI file with

java -jar plantuml.jar -txmi

produces the following file:

so only the first line of the notes are exported in both cases

looks like this is also applicable to any multiline component description like

card note [
    first line
    second line
]

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the report.

The question is: which separator should we use in the exported XMI ?

Something like :

<UML:Component name="first line\\nsecond line" namespace="model1" xmi.id="cl0004">

What do you think about it?
