It appears this change was intentional. The ChangeLog references this bug:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27716
It appears that the decision was made for the interest of remaining
compatible with other software that the original form was better.
Question would be whether we should add an option to change this
behavior? And if so is there a reason why the multiline form is
preferred (ie. easier for a human to read).
