Copying and saving clipboard to text not giving expected result

I used the Clipboard Viewer macro to extract the clipboards flavors.

And UTF 8 plain text is this:
"public.utf8-plain-text-string": "Stålmøtrik Din 934 Sorte\r- kvalitet 8\t\t\t\t\rBest.nr.\tTekst\tAntal pr. pk.\tM x længde i mm\tGevindstigning\rBC 1803000-100\tSTÅLMØTRIK 3 MM SORTE \t100\tM3 \t0,50\rBC 1804000-100\tSTÅLMØTRIK 4 MM SORTE \t100\tM4\t0,70\rBC 1805000-100\tSTÅLMØTRIK 5 MM SORTE \t100\tM5\t0,80\rBC 1806000-100\tSTÅLMØTRIK 6 MM SORTE \t100\tM6\t1,00\r",

And then I would expect Keyboard Maestro to save this to the text file.
But all \t becomes line breaks. This is what I do not understand.
