Yes, the patch description says consideration was given towards "having strings kept as logical units on the same line". This is beneficial for the purposes of being able to grep even when sequences mix "printable" and "non-printable" characters. For example, the UTF-8 code unit sequence for e with acute would likely end up on a line of its own if the alternative you mention is used. For a program with strings in French, I imagine that could be rather annoying.
