I guess I was drunk or crazy or had hit the head the day I wrote that
message. What I meant is that it historically Windows shells always HAD
problems with newlines. And dunno if they are NOW solved or not.

Anyway, it seems they do, at least on WinXP/64:

zsh% od -t x1 prova
0000000 61 20 31 30 31 33 0a 0d 62 20 31 33 31 30 0d 0a

zsh% cat prova >prova3

30cd0de67294582494afa3e04e3fb8e60f980d24 *prova3

As you can see the "prova" file is specifically built to expose line
ending issues ("a 1013<10><13>b 1310<13><10>c 10<10>d 13<13>e 27<27>f").

Here is the file, in case anyone wants to try it:
% uuencode -m prova <prova
