So, what you are proposing is that when
an unterminated message is signed:

-----BEGIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

this message was signed unterminated
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
b1ab1a
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It recovers as "this message was signed unterminated"
as it went in?  And then this becomes:


-----BEGIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

this message was already terminated

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
b1ab1a
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

which extracts as "this message was already terminated
" (i.e., preserving its one newline).

Exactly.
