No, I ran an existing test script with two versions of python and 
verified that it worked as expected in both cases, with no deprecation 
warning being emitted.

No. md5 became deprecated, the FileStorage format hasn't changed between 
Python 2.4 and 2.6. As far as I'm aware, python versions and .fs formats 
are orthogonal ;-)

Then how do you backup filestorages? What's the official, supported way 
of backing up FileStorages? I'd be more than happy to switch to using 
that instead...
