The intention was to introduce sharing of the filename object between code objects compiled from the same file (remember that every method is a separate code object).

But I believe the sharing won't happen when the code is loaded from a bytecoded file instead, so it is indeed wasted efficiency.

In 2.4, it would: strings that are interned when being marshalled will get interned on unmarshalling.
