Why not? It preserved the \012 nicely. if you had 'print'ed 
the output then it would have been laid out as you requested:

            hello world
this is a test

Now whether thats what you expected centre to dso is another 
matter, it certainly won't centre each line, but it doesn't 
claim to do so.
