I haven't been seeing the behaviour since august last year, but that is
because I fixed it by making the change in comment #15. I'll remove my
fix to see whether the bug still occurs.

One reason I might have been seeing this problem and others didn't is my
locale setting. It's a bit different than most people's:

LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_NAME=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

That is because I don't like Dutch language translations. I find them to
be clunky and incomplete, so I'd rather see things in English, but I
still want to see Dutch number formats, date formats, etc... Perhaps
this unusual locale setting is triggering the bug?

Like Foppe says this was a real and reproducable bug. I think closing it
now would be a bit premature. I still think it's likely that it points
to a bug in the Python libraries.
