I've had the same problem with 21.1.1, though it worked fine with an earlier 
version. It always saved with Linux/unix line ends.

I just created macros using replace-regexp to change the line ends, easily 
converting from either system.

These days, though, I figure I'm on Linux for good so I no longer save with 
Windows line ends unless I'm sending the file to a Windows machine.
