There've been two minor versions since the version cited in the post
(2.5), not counting Python 3 at all. It's definitely worth rechecking
on 2.7 or 3.3, to see if the same still occurs. (Or, of course, to
read the tracker issue, which in this case was known and needn't be
searched for, a fact that I missed noticing when I went reading.) Yes,
four years' worth of bug fixes does make it at least somewhat likely
that something's changed.
