That hole (which the missing bit of rubber covered) is for the cable that goes from the AC adapter to the DC coupler (Canon ACK-E8).

It means that it is now easier for dirt/liquids/bugs to get into your battery compartment. Plug it up with something if that bothers you.

The actual Canon part number for the bit of rubber is CB3-4584 (or CB3-4584-000 000) if you want to replace it. T1i/500D parts manual. Page 8.

Thanks man. I think I'll just make a plug out of some rubber and seal it using some super glue.
