I think that the way file names are displayed in the quickfix window
is a property of the quickfix feature, not of the cscope feature.
Therefore, I don't think that 'cspc' having no effect on the
quickfix display is a bug. I think that 'cspc' is intended to
affect only the output of a cscope command when it is displayed
directly on the screen.

I don't know why your quickfix window does not display the full path
name of each file, though. Mine does. I wonder if there is some
character in your full path names that the quickfix parser thinks is
a filename separator. If you think that might be the case, take a
look at ":help isfname".

The vim version I used for testing this was 7.2.327 on Linux. The
database was created using

cscope -b -q -k -i $FILE_LIST -f $DATABASE

where FILE_LIST was created using find and contains the full path
names of all files.
