OK, have to admit I'm not sure in that case. The reason I suggested XML or JSON btw was because I know for certain that they work, but if the OL docs suggest plain text should work then yours should be OK.

Another random guess, but: CR/LF issue (incompatibility between UNIX and Windows text formats) maybe? 

You might want to subscribe to the openlayers mailing list, someone on there should almost certainly be able to fix your issue.
