It looks like IronPython reports a type error as well:
IronPython 2.6.1 DEBUG (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.4927
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

... print(kwargs)

>>> kwargs = {1: 3}

Traceback (most recent call last):

>>> d = {1:2}
>>> d.update({3:4}, **{5:6})
