OpenStudio/Elements error on EPW with missing line break after last line

I've just found out that if an EPW file does not have a line break after the 8760th hour, OpenStudio and Elements have an issue (you can see in Elements that it's just missing the last row, and OpenStudio says there is an issue reading the middle of the weather file). EnergyPlus and IES-VE do not seem to have this problem. I'm just curious if there is something in the definition of an EPW file that requires this last line break, or it's potentially something that could be fixed in OS? (it's abviosuly not a big deal for a single file, but has broader implications for me)

Thanks
