It's interesting to note that Python 2.6's doctest doesn't use universal newlines, but zope.testing.doctest.
Interestingly, the doctests I referred to in my original post were Manuel doctests, which (Benji, lemme know if I'm wrong...) use Python's doctest module rather than zope.testing's one, in which case I think you may have hit the nail precisely on the head...
Manuel uses Python's doctest module for the actual work, but the file reading is done by Manuel itself. I could switch to using universal new line mode, but since I haven't seen an example of a filing test I can't be sure if it'll help or not.
The problems I had were with tests originally authored on Windows, checked into svn without an svn:eol-style and then checked out on linux. The error message was about inconsistent line endings even though they were all consistent, just \r\n rather than \n. I had to dos2unix them and then add an svn:eol-style (which not all RCS support) to get things working properly...
