This could be avoided by expanding the items to include the index of

The disadvantage would be that it would use more memory.
Another, easier technique: don't fill holes. Same disadvantage
(increased memory use), but easier to write and maintain.
I hope this is just an academic discussion: suddenly having Python's
dicts grow continuously is going to have nasty consequences somewhere.
