Fred L. Drake, Jr. <f...@fdrake.net> added the comment:

Chunking of the data is expected with Expat.  There are no promises about 
*where* chunks are broken; the underlying behavior will break at line endings, 
but is not limited to that.

Setting buffer_text informs the Python wrapper that it's allowed to combine the 
chunks reported by the Expat library; this was made optional since it could 
affect working applications (changing the default with the move to Python 3 may 
have been acceptable, though).
