I think the problem is that FOP has limitations in its handling of
whitespace. FOP does not support linefeed-treatment and
white-space-treatment according to this page:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property.

I don't have a workaround. Maybe you could experiment a bit and test some
modifications to the template with match="address" in fo/verbatim.xsl. 

A good commercial FO processor, for example XEP from RenderX, would help you
solve this and many other FOP-related problems.
