Martin Panter added the comment:

The moratorium is over as far as I understand, and PEP 3151 (OSError changes) 
has already been implemented.

My understanding is that exception messages are not generally part of the API. 
I think that avoiding this surprising quirk is more important than retaining 
backwards compatibility with the formatted exception message. But if it cannot 
be changed, we can at least document the quirk.
