I only thought to test iceweasel because in #658704 you mentioned an infinite poll() loop (but you didn't show the timing, which you would get from kdump -T). Maybe if __pthread_sig_cancel is missed somehow, Petr's diff works around that by checking anyway for terminated child threads every couple of seconds. Just guessing. Python 2.7.3~rc2 fixed something else, that could have been causing iceweasel's test harness to hang (like waf in #668240) so that maybe also helped here.
