I don't think it is a good idea to make some ATLAS data unavailable, even if it is located on an old server. The previous version of the client worked with this server so for many that would be a regression and a reason not to update.
The xrootd server is, as far as I know, not the only software that implements the xrootd server interface. Have you checked what other implementations have been doing? Does the protocol specification specify that the ".0" is mandatory? The client has until know accepted the hash without the ".0", so those implementing the server protocol might not be aware.this
