The goal of the recent ArrayBuffer work is to allow the browser's native ArrayBuffers to be passed through the bridge. It doesn't work on Android 2.3, since that version doesn't support ArrayBuffers.
The recent Blob work applied to Cordova's File plugin and made it so that it has a slice() method (like the native Blob), and a separate change was made so that if you pass a native Blob to FileReader, it will pass through to the native FileReader. So... Cordova File objects do *not* currently work with xhr2. I agree that's it's a pretty overwhelming task, and that it's likely not worth the effort unless users really start asking for it.
