R. David Murray added the comment:

You are right, it did change in 3.3.4 (see issue 10197).  That change should 
not have been applied to 3.3, and obviously there was a missing test concerning 
the return code format.

At this point I think we are stuck with changing the documentation.  The new 
return code is both more convenient and more consistent with the rest of the 
subprocess module.  It is very unfortunate that it did not follow our normal 
backward compatibility rules, but we are stuck with the mistake now.
