As you noted, one gets:
10

90660


Now select before char 1 of line 2 and hit the delete key, so that all the text is on line 1.
Next hit the return key, so that the text is again on two lines and looks just as it did before.
Next run:

Now you only get ’10’, no metadata!

Check the htmltext and it’s identical to the original.

Odd!
