That is a property of --textmode. RFC 4880 section 5.9 says this:
If it is a 't' (0x74), then it contains text data, and thus may need
line ends converted to local form, or other text-mode changes. The
tag 'u' (0x75) means the same as 't', but also indicates that
implementation believes that the literal data contains UTF-8 text.
[...]
- The remainder of the packet is literal data.
Text data is stored with <CR><LF> text endings (i.e., network-
normal line endings). These should be converted to native line
endings by the receiving software.

Use binary mode on the sending site (i.e don't use --textmode). Or
convert it back to CRLF.
