We have been running production web apps for many years which save
PDFs to a cStringIO.   I suspect the problem was that the cStringIO
module was not compiled or loaded in your case.

Nevertheless if any flavour of StringIO reproducibly corrupts input,
I'd suggest that's a bug worth reporting to the Python folks.
