I just ran into the exact same issue. Multiline entries (whether created through the maxcolwidths argument, or just by directly inserting newlines into an entry) seem to be supported for tablefmt "simple" and "grid", and not anything else I can find. I tried "github" and "rounded_outline" and they both look like the second example above.

I see it was changed from "Bug" to "Feature Request". So perhaps it is not intended to be supported for anything but these two tablefmt's, though that is not stated at all in the documentation.
