I think that was fixed in Postfix 3.8.

        Cleanup: the postfix(1) and postlog(1) commands now produce
        stderr output even when stderr is not connected to a terminal.
        This eliminates an inconsistency, and makes these programs
        easier to use in some automated procedures. The canonical
        example is to capture output from "postmulti -p status" to
        figure out which instances are or are not running. Files:
        postfix/postfix.c, postlog/postlog.c.
