just reading the related source code, it appears that on Linux the CR/LF
characters would be read, and perhaps the CR character is confusing lynx.
The easy fix would be to modify this function in LYStrings.c

PUBLIC char * LYTrimNewline ARGS1(
        char *,         buffer)
{
    size_t i = strlen(buffer);
    while (i != 0 && buffer[i-1] == '\n')
        buffer[--i] = 0;
    return buffer;
}

to

PUBLIC char * LYTrimNewline ARGS1(
        char *,         buffer)
{
    size_t i = strlen(buffer);
    while (i != 0 && (buffer[i-1] == '\n' || buffer[i-1] == '\r'))
        buffer[--i] = 0;
    return buffer;
}
