I believe this is due to the "trinary" (not sure if that is a word) nature of CFC methods. Basically, output in CFC work 3 different ways. One way if you do NOT have output=, one if you do and its true, and one if you do and it's false. Normall you do not leave it off as you have below. If you add output=false, use cfoutput inside your cfsavecontent, it should work as you expected.
I believe Sean Corfield has a good blog on post on this "3-way" issue. But to make things safe (and simple) just don' tleave it off.
