It is, but I forgot to mention it in the other thread. The ticket has
been closed, but it would be great if you could submit the cleanup
patch for #217 in the next 36 hours. But it taught me about a new
class of refcounting bugs, so I don't consider the colossal amount of
time I spend tracking this issue down wasted :)

William had also suggested that you can merge dance() into the
official Sage distribution. Carl and I also talked about writing a
doctest for Cython to catch this kind of error should it ever pop up
again.
