Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

A problem can only occur if you preserve a pointer to the buffer,
and the object gets a chance to change its buffer underneath. This
can happen when there are user-defined callback, and when other
threads can get control. In the cases being fixed, other threads
*can* get control, as the GIL is released. In the cases you discuss,
this cannot happen, since the GIL is not released, and no codepath
can lead to buffer reallocation.
