Since it can be disabled with

	[pager]
		format-patch = false

this looks reasonable to me.  Maybe a test to that effect would
help, something like this?

 test_expect_success TTY 'format-patch --stdout paginates' '
	rm -f pager_used &&
	(
		GIT_PAGER="wc >pager_used" &&
		export GIT_PAGER &&
		test_terminal git format-patch --stdout --all
	) &&
	test_path_is_file pager_used
 '

 test_expect_success TTY 'format-patch --stdout pagination can be disabled' '
	rm -f pager_used &&
	(
		GIT_PAGER="wc >pager_used" &&
		export GIT_PAGER &&
		test_terminal git --no-pager format-patch --stdout --all &&
		test_terminal git -c "pager.format-patch=false" format-patch --stdout --all
	) &&
	test_path_is_missing pager_used &&
	test_path_is_missing .git/pager_used
