Ruud, I experience the same issue you describe but after looking at an output file in a hex editor the reason is clear. Tesseract seems to determine line feeds perferctly fine but it only inserts the Line Feed character (0x0A) and not the carriage return character that a windows text file expects. (0x0D 0x0A)
So it would be fairly easy to take the output from tesseract and then feed it through another converter that changes all the 0x0A characters to 0x0D 0x0A. But it is unfortunate that it does not support such an option inherently.
