I doubt that an intentional change would have been made for cStringIO and 
not StringIO.  Two ways to investigate: scan the detailed listing of 2.5 
changes for mention of array and cStringIO modules; check the source code 
checkin messages for both for the relevant time period.  This might also 
suggest who to send an inquiry to who might not be reading here.

If you do not get a satifactory resolution here, file a bug report on SF. 
But remember that all bug fixers are volunteers just like you, so any 
investigation you do and report on to make response easier will likely make 
it quicker also.
