The issue is very old, does this issue exists in newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (4.5 or 6.1)?

This issue is still the case in TYPO3 6.2.15. Would be really nice if constants also supports multiline.
Now I'm forced to use setup field, but then I lose the inheritance that works with constants.

How to test:
Constants
lib.multiline ( line 1 line2 line3 )
setup
page.9 = TEXT
page.9.value = {$lib.multiline}
This will output "line 1" but should all lines.

This "issue" is still current in TYPO3 9.2.0-dev.
Mathias mentioned in #59714-1 that multiline TypoScript Constants are not intended. But actually there's- no documentation about it (https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptSyntaxReference/8.7/singlehtml/#constants)
- and no limitation in e.g. TSConfig Editor for Constants in TYPO3 backend
A clear statement would be good. We can take this into the documentation or even fix multiline constants? or maybe some warning/log when ( instead of = is used in TypoScript constants context.

I wanted to share my research:
Multiline constants actually do work (tested on latest master).
The line break and tabs are preserved.
However the constants value is replaced in the typoscript setup the linebreak will also be added causing it to be invalid typoscript.
The actual replacement happens inside the\TYPO3\CMS\Core\TypoScript\TemplateService::substituteConstants.
A constant
temp.multiTest (
Hello
World
)
with typoscript
page.8 = TEXT
page.8.value = {$temp.multiTest}
results in
page.8 = TEXT
page.8.value = Hello
World
So to fix this we need to change the \TYPO3\CMS\Core\TypoScript\TemplateService::substituteConstantsCallBack method to wrap the constants value in a multiline if it is multiline.
