Fetchmail apparently strips CR only when delivering to a named MDA - running it out of inetd apparently has it leave the CR in. Buried deep in the fetchmail manpage - line 1540 or so. Thanks again, I just assumed it was exim, because that was what had changed. Didn't even occur to me that it was the relationship between exim and fetchmail.
