That would be a "line feed" (0x0A) - Carriage return is (0x0D) (ascii values 10 and 13, respectively) the Mac/Windows conversion is the difference between CR and CR/LF
All I can guess is that in terminal, when that particular version of bash and OS interacted, it didn't go back to the start of line, and the CR was unprintable, so it all ended up on the same line.
I'd expect to have seen something like what you describe with the line break, if it were a bare LF, but in my case, it wasa bare CR.
