That sounds like some failure of CRLF conversion, like it's converting all of the line endings somehow when writing to the working tree and then not expecting them to be different. Do you have some sort of interesting configuration for those? I wonder if you've got a .gitattributes that matches the names that git uses for the files, but are on a case-insensitive filesystem which lists those files in a way where their names don't match (or vice versa).
