However, looking more closely there are 3 visible characters where cr should 
be.   They are â9u except 9u is constant and the first character is almost 
always there, but varies wildly.  Often an underscore but also accented a, e or 
u.  Even more weirdly, if I search the field for ‘9u', several lines are found, 
but not any in the mutant line.

And yet more weirdly again, when the line is displayed in a field with wrap 
true, the weird three characters appear at the beginning of ‘new lines’ except 
they are not actually new lines because they highlight as a single block.  An 
invisible form feed?  or something else between 9 and u  that a wrapping field 
decides is a wrap point but confuses the hell out of a non-wrapping field?

The text came from a server, right? This sounds like it may be a text encoding issue. It's likely UTF8, so try textDecode(tText,"UTF8") and see if that resolves it.
