This was the dumb mistake I thought I'd made, but it turns out I didn't 
make that mistake. No, I was definitely, positively, absolutely using the 
cygwin CVS client. (So, why did it give me a File'O'^Ms? The behavior 
observed is consistent with CVS downloading without ^Ms, the text-mode 
mount point inserting them, and gencode.exe opening the file in binary mode 
and seeing them)

As you can see from my second post, manually translating the arm.md file 
"fixed" that problem but leads me to a link problem.

The build directory is mounted in binary mode, the source directory is 
mounted in text mode.
