I know it's not really the answer you're looking for but I've used WriteLiteral to get around my formatting issues.

For example, when I write:

    @foreach (var item in Model) {    
        if (condition) {
            @:

        }
        @item.Label
    }

Visual Studio tries to change it to:

    @foreach (var item in Model) {    
        if (condition) {
            @:
        

        }
        @item.Label
    }

Which causes the page to throw an error.

If you use WriteLiteral you can fool the formatter into ignoring the line but it ain't pretty:

    @foreach (var item in Model) {    
        if (condition) {
            WriteLiteral("
");
        }
        @item.Label
    }
