The psaxes macro has changed a lot in the last couple of years and, as you
point out, the new version is not always consistent with the old documentation.
(The new documentation is in pst-plot-doc.pdf.) To get the old behavior, draw
the axes separately with different arrow specs.
\psaxes[yAxis=false]{<->}(0,0)(-2.5,0)(2.5,2.5)%
\psaxes[xAxis=false]{->}(0,0)(-2.5,0)(2.5,2.5)%
