As discussed on IRC, we need to update stable because actual cpio cannot cope with some file names when using some locales. The output of the cpio archive would be corrupted. A test case is provided by the LSB certification suite here:
/tset/LI18NUX2K.L1/utils/cpio-fh/T.cpio-fh that shows file names and locale. We are not aware of any direct user being affected by this bug, but it fails the LSB test/certification process and it could of course hit users in future.
