It works correctly with new lines but it behaves as you requested:

you requested behavior from the early 1980s by putting /usr/ucb/ early in you 
PATH. Simular things would happen with ACLs if you did put //usr/gnu/bin early 
in your PATH. If you select a specific behavior, you get what you requested.

tr did not handle 0 bytes in the 1980s....

gnu tools do not handle ACLs
