R. David Murray added the comment:

Yes, the behavior here is "undefined" at the language level.  And as pyos says, 
technically it is documented: if you mutate the object over which you are 
iterating inside the iteration context (a for loop is just one example of 
same), the behavior is explicitly undefined.  I agree that it is not *obvious* 
that that applies to chain.from_iterable in this context, but I'm not sure how 
we'd improve the docs to cover it.
