Feature/bug/hazard... who knows ;-) The test that identifies if a file is AAIGRID first checks if there are at least 100 bytes in the file, which looks like a rough estimate of the size taken by the minimum header lines and should be fine for any sensible raster. I guess this test could be just killed since the Identify() also checks the presence of one of the keywords. But you have found the workaround, just add enough spaces at the end of your files and it should be OK.
