The changes were added via the commit at https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/commit/10fe3d78c3f3a3e2cbc64ede7c091a60f11a4e22

At the same time a typemap was added to the Python MapScript bindings:

%typemap(out) hashTableObj*

I'd guess other languages would need to implement a similar typemap mapping hashTableObj to a dictionary-type class language equivalent. 
I'd guess there is no harm in the change - and to add to Travis and see if all still builds successfully. 

What happens in Perl if you run code like in the Python example in the commit?

 headers = mapscript.msIO_getAndStripStdoutBufferMimeHeaders()
