That's the exact behavior you'd see if the byte after 'b' is a carriage return. The cursor would be brought back over the 'b' and then the command prompt would overwrite the 'b', making it seem as if it was never printed. Although perhaps the -A option should cause the carriage return to print as ^M or \r (I don't know since my cat does not support that option).

What exactly is in test1.txt? Please paste the output of
Code:
od -cb test1.txt
