Well, to be fair, stpcpy was in glibc long before it was standardized by POSIX. I think glibc stole it from the MS-DOS world, either Borland Turbo C or Lattice C; I've heard both stories and don't know which is right. So there is some precedent for glibc using str[a-z]* symbols that are not formally standardized.
