If you re-check my post to chris, I listed the struct you mention.
The C code is what is actually run (by GDB breakpoint test) when a tuple 
is instantiated.
If the tuple were stripped of the extra data -- then it ought to be as 
small as slice().
But it's not as small -- so either the sys.getsizeof() is lying -- or 
the struct you mention is not complete.

Which?
