To demonstrate this issue, I set up a simple pubsub push endpoint that prints the posted data.
$ python
>>> from google.cloud import pubsub
>>> pubsub.Client("myproject").topic("mytopic").publish("blah")
Data received at push endpoint:
{u'message': {u'attributes': {},
u'data': u'WW14aGFBPT0=',
...
$ GOOGLE_CLOUD_DISABLE_GRPC=1 python
>>> from google.cloud import pubsub
>>> pubsub.Client("myproject").topic("mytopic").publish("blah")
Data received at push endpoint:
{u'message': {u'attributes': {},
u'data': u'YmxhaA==',
...
As you can see, the data in the first version is a twice-encoded version of the message "blah" while GAX is in use. I would expect to see the latter regardless of GAX being enabled or not.

>>> import base64
>>> base64.b64decode(u'WW14aGFBPT0=')
'YmxhaA=='
>>> base64.b64decode('YmxhaA==')
'blah'
