Does saving a project macro modify it?

My build stores a project macro with the (multi line) output of a Perforce command and compares it with that same command the next time it is run. When I run the build from inside VBPro things work correctly, but when I run it from the command line the compare always returns that the macros are different -- even though they look exactly the same when I dump them to the output log.

I am saving the project, so that is not the problem. Does VBPro do anything like strip newlines or invisible characters?

Below is a copy of the log from two builds from within the IDE (sans my personal information).
