Nautilus seems to be considering the period as a sentence end and therefore a legitimate place to wrap the text. However, that is wrong as there is no space following the period.

Note that the '\n' escape sequence _is_ supported:

This is a hack, but note that it is possible to fool the wrapping code by using a non-ASCII period (such as 'middle-dot' ('·' (0x00B7)), however that does look a little strange :)
