It works correctly with new lines but it behaves as you requested:
you requested behavior from the early 1980s by putting /usr/ucb/ early in you
PATH. Simular things would happen with ACLs if you did put //usr/gnu/bin early
in your PATH. If you select a specific behavior, you get what you requested.
tr did not handle 0 bytes in the 1980s....
gnu tools do not handle ACLs
