The external spatial functions got them added, so all match up to the standards base. The internal functions, used for casts got them stripped to match PostgreSQL convention: newtype(oldtype) is the PostgreSQL standard casting function signature. There are some other even more internal functions (type_in(), type_out()) that you don't see or use that also had their st_ prefixes stripped. They really should never have had them added in the first place.
