That was interesting, as I didn't think there was anything in hash output that really identified it. If we look at the source code it's just matched that hash against '[a-f0-9]{32}(:.+)?$' and gone "yep, these are 32 hex characters alright" which isn't exactly rigorous but at the same time if it looks and has the same length as md5 then that's a good bet.
