The CR/NL stuff was the first thing I thought of, of course. The scan
stuff doesn't seem relevant though. My problem with the suggestion of
this being a simple CR/NL translation issue is that in that case we
should be seeing many more newlines than we are. Why does suppressing
just this one work? That's what I find so puzzling.

I'm currently rebuilding and looking into it more.
