That doesn't look right to me... If you type a space and it 
automatically capitalises, the first "undo" undoes the capitalisation 
and a second "undo" undoes the space. I would have thought it should be 
the same for a new paragraph - first "undo" should undo the 
capitalisation, and a second "undo" should undo the new paragraph, not 
the other way around...?

Those are indeed workarounds. Personally, I disable a lot of the 
"autocorrect" features. Apart from avoiding the hassle when I don't want 
something "corrected", it also helps me learn to type right in the first 
place!
