I've made a small model of your input xml and stylesheet documents based on
what you've posted. I can confirm that Saxon 6.5.3 does as you describe and
MSXSL does as you say you want. While I'm certainly no expert on the specs (as
others on this list are) it seems that you've fallen into a gray area that the
spec leaves up to the implementor to handle as he or she sees fit. Perhaps one
of the spec experts will confirm or refute this hypothesis.

Nope, it doesn't.
I think one of your processors is "helpfully" removing the carriage
returns improperly. If you show us the input and name the processors
it will be easy to help.
XSL:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@href != ''">
<q><a href="{(_at_)href}"><xsl:value-of select="@title" /></a></q>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<q><xsl:value-of select="@title" /></q>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
Sablotron:
<q>
<a href="...">Text</a>
</q>
-or- (if !href)
<q>Text</q>
Libxslt:
<q><a href="...">Text</a></q>
-or- (if !href)
<q>Text</q>
Saxon: (as Sablotron)
Xalan-J: (as Sablotron but without indentations)
So only Libxslt behaves as I would hope, but the others do not do
anything against the rules. I just want to know how to wrap the q
elements in a "dont-insert-whitespace" instruction.
