There is a simple solution to get rid of this behaviour. Just change the column type from 'Rich Text' to 'Plain Text'.
You can see the difference now. There will not be any blank entries in the column if you dont enter anything.
Get rid of blank entries when 'Append Changes to Existing Text' is turned on
Most of us are aware of the option 'Append Changes to Existing Text' which gives provision to display multiple comments appended to a list column. However, it will add blank entries to the column for every save operation, even if you did not want to enter anything and just click 'OK' without making any change to the item as below.

Thank you so much for the trick!
I'm elated about the solution and absolutely horrified it took me so long to find your answer.
This assumes you do not want to use rich text. If you want to use rich text this solution does not work.
Thanks so much!! Now how do I get rid of the blank entries?
YOU ROCK!! Spent 4 hours trying to solve this, who knew it was so simple! Thank you!
