Does anyone remember whether this was a conscious decision?

I doubt it was a conscious decision - an unfortunate amount of the standard library's handling of the text model change falls into the category of "implementation accident" :(

Is it too late to fix?

Like Greg, I'm comfortable with the idea of calling "bug" on this one, fixing it in 3.4 and making a note in the "Porting to Python 3.4" section of the What's New guide.

Cheers, Nick.
