Agree. If I tell psql that I want wrapped output and it gives me something else when I output to a file, I'm going to be confused. In particular, I often work up a query in psql, making revisions with \e, and when I've got the results I want, I do a \g out.txt to dump the query output into a file. I expect that the contents of out.txt will be exactly the same as the query output I've just been crafting in psql. If I want to output the query in a machine-readable form to a file, I just use \a to switch to unaligned output. Aside: \a should probably be changed to toggle between "unaligned" and "aligned"/"wrapped", whichever of the two you had selected last.
