It's probably useful, though not essential, in articles that use <ref> tags in conjunction with templates like {{cite web}}. Many editors like placing each parameter on a separate line to increase readability, and citations often occur within image captions.
That seems like a reasonable use, and could perhaps be accommodated by <ref> itself dictating the special handling, rather than the image caption?
