(Sorry for the late reply)
In V8 the additional "\n" is clearly documented.
On the long run,
I would suggest to be more clear what BINARY is:
--- a/Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt
+++ b/Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt
@@ -61,6 +61,9 @@ the length's hexadecimal representation.
A pkt-line MAY contain binary data, so implementors MUST ensure
pkt-line parsing/formatting routines are 8-bit clean.
+Each pkt-line that may contain ASCII control characters should
+be treated as binary.
