Confirmed on windows with 2.4 and 2.5:

C:\p>\Python24\python.exe bzp.py
line number: 588317
'\x1e'
''

C:\p>\Python25\python.exe bzp.py
line number: 588317
'\x1e'
''

Looks like one byte of garbage is appended at the end of file. Please
file a bug report. As a workaround "rU" mode seems to work fine for
this file.
