Good point. I'm not sure why this happens. I think this behavior is
dictated by the respective format's prepare(), valid() and split() so
it's not something a core change would fix.
I know I and JimF have identified and discussed the need for being
promiscuos when reading john.pot (eg. accept bare hashes or deprecated
tags), and strict when writing to it. This is something we could add to
the Test Suite.
