Yes this is true. I tried exactly the same tests to evaluate the
formatter, but they did not work. I believed that striping the code will
solve the problem but nothing...
In general I was not able to find a safe way to test it. I am just looking
the diffs searching for bad formated code ...
(Also I must note here that the bazaar repository was very-very helpful
here, branches/revert/diff etc on local repositories are really fast, but
OK it is an other story :-) )

Yes it does. For example the code:
  void some_function(){
  }
convert to:
  void some_function()
 {
  }
