At least with cpio 2.5-1.2 it definitely works on i386. I just verified it: client:~# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/cpio_2.5-1.2_i386.deb dpkg - warning: downgrading cpio from 2.5-1.3 to 2.5-1.2.

Version 2.5-1.2 works fine via ssh and nothing else has been changed, so I would suggest that it is related to the security update.
