Well, I can confirm that these file show the same symptoms on vim  
here, so it's not totally a bug with your text editor.

First step should perhaps be to report the bug to Drupal themselves.

I get the same garbage using vim here on my Mac, but interestingly not  
if I open the file in TextEdit (like Notepad). In vim the files both  
seem to terminate in this junk, and it kinda seem like vim doesn't  
want to scroll down properly when it encounters it. In TextEdit I do  
see a handful of blank spaces at the "end" of template.php, and if I  
delete these then reopen in vim, the garbage is gone. I would be glad  
to send you copies of both files "fixed", but I suspect the files are  
truncated, and that that would leave stuff missing - the ^@^@^@^@^@  
has been written over the real content, I think.
