Actually, I would argue that this simply isn't the case. I am using 
BBEdit 6.1.1 (OS X version) and I HAVE "Translate Line Breaks" turned on 
and still go the box. I did a quick search and replace and found that 
the symbol that created the box was "\n" (not sure if that is a Unix LF 
or not).

If you want me to do any testing of this to ensure that I can reproduce 
it, let me know.
