I think it leaves them alone. Certainly I've never had any troubles with it

UNIX emacs it will show the extra ^R (or whichever is unused on UNIX) which
suggests to me that it just treats the non-native newline bit as a regular
character.

It's irrelevant if you're just editing existing lines, but if you add new ones, vi will add them in the file-native format (CRLF for a DOS file), while emacs will add them in the machine-native format.
