What I'd expect to happen, and what did happen before 1.7, is that the
size information would be there and would just be truncated if it didn't

The change was intentional, IIRC.  Better to truncate than show
part of a number.  The parentheses in your format would reveal it,
but without them, the output could be misleading with truncation.

I just noticed that kilo and kibi don't truncate.
