It still seems to happen on up-to-date Intrepid, coreutils 6.10-6ubuntu1.

$ md5sum * > files.md5
[takes a while]
$ md5sum -c <files.md5
[says everything is OK]
$ geany files.md5
[Documents > Set Line Endings > Convert and Set to CR/LF; save file]
$ md5sum -c <files.md5
[fails to parse and outputs lots of "file not found" errors]
