Files that are saved have three unusual characters at the very
beginning that other programs have an issue with, including MLCad and
LDView, which are the main tools that I use.  If I use LDraw Design
Pad to remove those characters, everything is fine.  If I just load
the file in the other tools, the those characters make the first
piece invalid, so it doesn't show up.

That is probably a "Byte Order Mark", BOM
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark), which is identifying the
file as UTF-8 text. Quote WikiPedida:

"While UTF-8 does not have byte order issues, a BOM encoded in UTF-8 may
nonetheless be encountered. A UTF-8 BOM is explicitly allowed by the Unicode
standard[2], but is not recommended[3], as it only identifies a file as
UTF-8 and does not state anything about byte order.[4] Many Windows programs
(including Windows Notepad) add BOMs to UTF-8 files by default. However in
Unix-like systems (which make heavy use of text files for file formats as
well as for inter-process communication) this practice is not recommended,
as it will interfere with correct processing of important codes such as the
shebang at the start of an interpreted script.[5] It may also interfere with
source for programming languages that don't recognise it."

(...) Yes, that's it exactly. It's been a while since I had to deal with UTF-8 text, thanks for the link to the explanation. -Andy (15 years ago, 10-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Ok, a couple of hours later, and a few things to mention... Doesn't support MPD files yet, at least not ones that I have that work fine in MLCad. Can't seem to figure out how groups work, if at all. Files that are saved have three unusual (...) (15 years ago, 10-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)
