I think this is a part of the language definition, at the very least pypy does the same. The reason is that you can't write python code that can be safely executed at an arbitrary point in time (it's hard enough to write runnable-from-a-signal handler C code), so you defer it until at least the bytecode boundary so the internal structures are in a somewhat consistent shape
