Just for the record, the release announcement did mention:
"A script on a binary mount that uses \r\n line endings will probably 
encounter syntax errors or odd variable assignments, because the \r is 
treated literally.  If this happens to you, use d2u to fix the line 
endings, or change your script to live in a text mount point.  A script 
that resides on a text mount can have either line ending (even 
inconsistently mixed), but be aware that text mount points are slower, 
due to \r\n filtering."
