That is the case for more than 10 years:

	* g10.c (print_hex, print_mds): Print long hash strings a lot
	neater.  This assumes at least an 80-character display, as there
	are a few other similar assumptions here and there.  Users who
	need unformatted hashes can still use with-colons.  Check that
	SHA384 and 512 are available before using them as they are no
	longer always available.

thus we can't change it.

Well, I might be possible to disable the pretty-printing if --batch is
in use.  I am not sure this is worth the effort.
