A string containing line breaks will display as multiple lines in a textarea, but line breaks mean nothing in html so they are ignored otherwise.
It looks like you are going to have to duplicate the functionality of the AjaxInPlaceEditor with an AjaxInPlace and edit and view template.
The edit template wrapping a WOText, the view template wrapping an ERXStringWithLineBreaks.
