Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 My understanding is it was changed along with esc_html(), yeah. Because
 some theme and plugin authors were using it to escape things that really
 needed esc_html().

 The wp_specialchars() should not be used on that call anyway: it's
 completely bogus. That function is meant to turn things into HTML
 entities. I mean, either the theme author ensures whoever edits the css is
 allowed to post unfiltered html, either he uses proper escaping
 functionalities, such as HTML Purifier. But definitely not something that
 is an enhanced htmlspecialchars().
