It has been this way since 6.6.8, I just checked the release notes.

In fact, this is the example they give:


For example, to print out the machine's Name (always defined) and the
RemoteUser (only defined if the machine is claimed), and always print a
newline (to keep the formatting legible), this command will now work:

% condor_status -f "%s " Name -f "%s " RemoteUser -f "\n" bogus
