I'm betting that your ASCII plist file has mixed line-end characters 
in it. That's perfectly legal inside of an XML file so long as all of 
the 0D line ends are inside of an XML item that's treated as binary 
mode by software that expects it.

BBEdit worksheets are stored just that way. The data that appears in 
a BBEdit window as text is separated by 0Ds within a large XLM data 
item and the XML plist file that contains it is delimited by 0As. 
BBEdit will absolutely refuse to open its own worksheets as plain old 
text files.
