Actually, there could be some difference due to a more complex
processing that the Uniscribe back end might induce on Emacs, but that
should only happen with complex scripts.  And you say that you see the
problem with any file, including, I presume, pure ASCII text.  So I
don't think complex script processing could be an issue here.
