New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

The docs for subprocess.Popen seem to imply that line-buffering is always 
available. However, bufsize=1 is a special value only when open the pipes in 
text mode, i.e. when "universal newlines" are enabled.

In the short term, we should probably fix the subprocess docs.
In the long term, perhaps we can add a line buffering capability to 
BufferedWriter?
