It is a backward compatibility bug. Something that used to work doesn't any more. And it was explicitly made to work previously (the original __init__ statement was 'import collections.abc'). And it is is an implementation bug in the original patch because otherwise there would be no point in importing _collections_abc in __init__. But you are right, it is relatively unlikely that anyone is relying on it.
