This was first noticed when viewing an RExpression's "output" port.  The output
port emits a string token containing a section of the RExpression's stdout
stream, with newlines encoded in the relevant OS's format.  The report will
then display literal "\n" or "\r\n" in the report, rather than the appropriate
newlines.

While much of reporting ignores newlines (text boxes, for example), it might be
useful to respect them here, since the RExpression output is less useful
without them.
