When you enable `lithist', each line of a multi-line command is saved to
the history list with a trailing newline, and written to the history file
as a separate line. With the traditional readline history file format,
that makes each line a separate history entry unless the application uses
a delimiter to logically separate commands. With bash, that delimiter is
the timestamp that is controlled by HISTTIMEFORMAT.

Here are a couple of messages that explain the issue in detail:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2016-09/msg00112.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2017-06/msg00119.html
