No idea if there's more to your problem than this, but this might be
all... when calling system commands in vim (unlike in shell, for
example), you'll get a trailing newline if the applications output
ended in a trailing newline... so, a fairly common idiom is to get rid
of those with
:let var = system("somecommand | tr -d '\n')

The problem could very well be that dcop can't handle the trailing
newline in its input...
