Comment(by kcrisman):

 Okay, inserting appropriate print statements gives
 {{{
 Got to first line of PariInsstance init
 Got beyond 'if bot' of PariInstance init instead
 Got beyond 'pari_init_opts'
 Got here
 Got to just before pari_float
 }}}
 which can be interpreted as
  * Pari was initialized
  * the 'if bot' was NOT taken
  * and `pari_init_opts` was apparently called
  * then we got to the complex number line
  * then we got to the `real_mpfr` line with the `cgetr`
  * and we didn't make it past that, as usual.

 So apparently `bot` was not yet set, contrary to your hypothesis, but
 there is still something weird going on with the stack.  The rest of the
 lines in the `_init_` don't look that innocent either; if one of them
 failed or allocated something null would it raise an error?  (Like the
 `pari_free` line or the `pariOut` lines?)
