I looked at code, and googled for info on the topic.
This message thread:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/xtext-dev/msg00888.html and the
issue that was logged as a result of that discussion:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=313289
The thread talks about the ParseTreeConstructor, and the complication
that when it calls the formatter, there is no node model. (The issue
also mentions this, and some other cases where there is no associated
node model).
I am wondering what you think regarding the evolution of the formatter.
Is it likely to stay more or less as it is, with the addition of also
passing the current semantic object through the pipeline, or do you see
it radically changing?

Hi Henrik,
I'm hoping to reimplement the formatter soon, but so far other things
had a higher priority. It's bothering us, too, the that old formatter
isn't powerful enough to handle the Xtend language.
A new formatter would have access to the node model, the semantic model
and would not be restricted to the old formatters "rule engine".
Furthermore, it would work with the new serializer, since the
ParseTreeConstructor is about to be phased out.
regards,
Moritz
