I think MvL is looking at it from the point of view of consumers of the list of strings in sys.path, such as PEP 302 importer and loader objects, and tools like modulefinder. Currently, the list of values in sys.path is limited to:

That, and all kinds of inspection tools. For example, when file of a module object changes to be a Unicode string (which it does under the proposed patch), then these tools break. They currently don't break in that way because putting arbitrary Unicode strings on sys.path doesn't work in the first place.
