Yes - in fact I just reached the same conclusion and confirmed this is what happened. I believe Jan must have built the zip on a windows machine (or at least from a repository that was cloned under windows). I just did a clean clone under OS X and confirmed that the line endings are in Unix format. So we can get Unix line endings (and thus the tests passing) simply by creating the zip under either Linux or OS X. — Dr Peter M.
