Would I be assuming correctly that the file you're running 'indent' on has Windows-stlye line endings?

I'm not sure how to work around this if that's the case, but you could try piping it through tr to remove the trailing line endings before it gets to Vim. Or you could follow up the indent command with a simple :%s#\r$## command to remove them after they get back to Vim.
