I agree that wrapped is more a variant of aligned mode than a format
mode in its own right. Expressing it that way with \pset has the nice
bonus that you don't lose your preference for wrapped mode when
switching between aligned and unaligned with \a.

Well, if we pursue Peter's suggestion that psql abstain from reading
the startup file in noninteractive mode, then this problem goes away.
An admin could opt to wrap in his interactive sessions without it ever
affecting the behaviour of scripts ... which is exactly what you would
want.
