lettrine in csquotes blockquote leaves empty space in subsequent paragraphs

1

I'm trying to put a big quotation mark as a lettrine in the opening of a blockquote.

This works, however if there are multiple paragraphs in the blockquote, the following paragraphs needlessly retain the space set aside for the lettrine resulting in ugly indentation (marked with red in the example).

I suspect that the lines option in the lettrine command sets some internal state that is not reset for the following paragraphs, unlike what is the case outside the blockquote environment.

MWE:

documentclassarticle

usepackagelettrine
usepackagelipsum
usepackagecsquotes

SetBlockEnvironmentquotation

defquotelettrinetextquotedblleft
renewcommandmkblockquote[4]%
 lettrine[lines=2, findent=.5em, nindent=0em]quotelettrine%
 itshape#1#2#3#4%

  Thanks for the comment. I've done some tests and it seems to work only for the final paragraph (try changing the lipsum inside the quote to 2-4)...
