The output was not well formed json. It contained a 'go: finding ...' message

AFAICT, that output is on stderr so it's fine IMO.

and the list of module objects was not wrapped in a comma delimited json list.

It's a stream of JSON objects? which is in line with JSON output from other sub-commands as well as being idiomatic(tm) and common which also makes it fine IMO.

Agree with @DisposaBoy's comment. This is working as intended.

Status messages are printed on stderr so the JSON output can be piped to tools and files separately. Errors are included in the JSON objects (in the Error field).

Printing a stream of JSON objects instead of a single list value is also expected. go list does this as well. Tools like jq work well with this format.
