I see; it just displays the output of the shell commands.

I originally thought that it should go in /etc/init.d/iptables. Now,
I think you should use a wrapper script around /sbin/iptables-save or
iptables-restore.

That would be very useful, if you could come up with a minimal
sequence of actions to reproduce the problem. Then, its easy to make
a wrapper script to help diagnose the source of that problem.
Also, if you can reproduce it, please try installing an updated
iptables [0] which may fix the problem:
Changes:
iptables (1.2.11-9) unstable; urgency=medium
.
[...]
* Bug#283721, Policy match save code puts in line feed that makes
iptables-restore error, reported and fixed by Matthew Grant.
Thanks.
I mailed the iptables maintainer just to see if they thought that it
was likely the same thing.
Thanks,
Justin
