RTF bug in TextEdit and XCode ?

I know Xcode is not specifically an RTF editor but when I looked
around, the only RTF supporting text editor around was Xcode (and
TextEdit). I needed to do a massive search/replace in a bunch of RTF
files and I thought Xcode would help but I found the following bug
(?) in both:
I open an RTF file in either of the two.
I don't do anything to it.
I save is.
The result is an RTF file that Word or OpenOffice (NeoOffice) can't
display with the original layout, while the Apple apps won't have no
problem displaying it with the proper line breaks etc.
The (not so) funny thing is that if I do something to the file before
saving it, it retains its line breaks and there are no issues at all
when the file is used in non Apple apps.
Is it me or is it a major bug ?
