The problem does exist in practice. Python is deliberately build with -fno-strict-aliasing when GCC is used, and might get compiled incorrectly on any other advanced C compiler. The problem with that bug is that it is both very hard to find when it exists, and very hard to dismiss as theoretical, unless an extensive source code review is performed. Have you done this review in the Python source code to know that there is no potential for misinterpretation to make the claim the problem is only theoretical?
