Comment (by SimonKing):

 On the other hand: I'd really like to understand why it doesn't work with
 `singular_ring_delete` in this case.

 I found that the segfault occurs inside
 `singular_ring_delete(currRingHdl.data.uring)` when attempting to change
 to `currRingHdl.data.uring`. So, apparently, `currRingHdl.data.uring` is
 invalid at that point. And this is hardly surprising, because it is
 created by the following lines, which look like a hack to me:
 {{{
         if currRingHdl == NULL:
             import sys
             currRingHdl = enterid("my_awesome_sage_ring", 0, RING_CMD,
 &IDROOT, 1)
             currRingHdl.data.uring.ref += 1
 }}}
