I'd guess that Obi Wan will start Ep 3 off with his Classic Trilogy saber, too. The time that would have to pass during the movie for him to build a new saber wouldn't work too well. Though, it does kind of kill the theory that ObiWan cobbled together his CT saber from parts on Tatooine, thus explaining the relatively clunky look of it.
Explaining Anakin's CT saber is no problem. He just built it after losing his proto-Vader one in AotC. ObiWan must have built YET ANOTHER replica of his padawan hilt after losing his second one in AotC, thus its appearance in the Microseries.
Are there more Microseries cartoons planned before the release of the movie? I'd think they would have time for another season. If there are, we may yet see Obi Wan lose the Ep.1 style hilt, paving the way for the appearance of the CT hilt in Ep 3.
