Subject: 24.0.50; end-of-line style on remote files

It seems that Emacs doesn't respect the end-of-line style when dealing
with remote files.

Try this:
1.- Start Emacs (emacs -Q)
2.- Open a remote file, which has DOS end-of-line style (<cr><lf>).
3.- Make a change to the file and save it.
4.- The modeline still says that the end-of-line style is DOS (char
"\" on Windows version), but in fact it isn't. It has changed to UNIX
style (<lf>).

...and even worse:
5.- M-x revert-buffer.
6.- The modeline keeps unchanged (like in step 4). In order to get the
correct modeline flag, you have to kill the buffer and re-visit the
file.
