I discussed my theory about this on IRC once, and just told dbates about it in an email reply, but thought I'd share it here. There is a .gitattributes file in our tree. It forces CRLF on some file types, including *.vcproj files:

$ grep crlf .gitattributes | wc -l
226
$ grep vcproj .gitattributes 
*.vcproj eol=crlf
$ 

Older checkouts (from before those rules being added) do not seem to suffer from the problem (i.e., my own checkout that runs on a system very much like the EWS bot works, as does Martin's). I'm also happy to apply any knobs, but reading docs and trying (not too much since my time's been quite limited) I didn't find anything that would guarantee the effect we want. Also, since it's not been mentioned explicitly in this bug yet, notice that the commit-queue suffers from the same issue - quite likely because it's got a new checkout itself.
