Only because of extra magic. In addition to turning embedded newlines
into carriage returns, the normal 'do shell script' behavior also
automatically removes a single *trailing* newline. Which works very
well in combination with the fact that <<< adds one. Really, if you
stick to single-line strings you won't have this difficulty. :)
Unfortunately I don't know of a way to preserve that behavior without
also preserving the carriage return translation.
