This can no longer be a 2.5 issue but I am not sure how to update it.
OP apparently opened it as a feature request, so I did update it to 3.2.
But OP then says "I'm not sure if this is a functionality or documentation bug." and indeed subsequent messages debate this issue. This would mean it could apply to earlier versions, if re-typed.
On the other hand, there seems to be some opinion that there is no bug, or if there is/was, it cannot be fixed, which would mean this should be closed.
Also, the docs seem to have already been changed, so if that were the issue, this is fixed and should be closed:
"By default, the pickle data format uses a printable ASCII representation."
is now
"Protocol version 0 is the original human-readable protocol and is backwards compatible with earlier versions of Python. "
