I was going to suggest that folks like the PyMite developers might use it to create versions that run in severely constrained environments, but it looks like they wrote their interpreter from scratch instead. On the other hand, I've definitely heard at least a few people talking about using -OO to drop docstrings as a technique to reduce memory consumption. Some of these failures would likely show up there as well.
