In bash, 'set PS1=x' and try again. Looks like it's just a side
effect of your prompt settings.
It's not that bash is working "fine", but that your bash prompt is
adding a newline that's not part of the data in the file you're
reading. And your expectation that the added newline makes it the
correct behavior is flawed.
