If you think it should be mentioned, please file a bug report.

Nope, it is most certainly correct because...

... components of the PATH environment variable (separated by a ; in
windows and a : in MSYS) are searched from left to right. The first
directory encountered that has the executable searched for (in this
case python.exe) wins. Hence C:\Programmi\Python31\ is found...

The simplest solution for you is to execute (from your bash session
or build shell script and note it really is : and not ; in there):

    export PATH=/c/programmi/python25:$PATH
    ./configure --prefix=whatever
    make
    make install

to ensure Python 2.5 is picked up by the configure script.
