Thank you for your suggestion.

But, given that this bug has been present for some two years, I would
hope that Python developers would have already done what you suggest and
this leads me to doubt that any approach that I made to Microsoft would
achieve any practical benefit.

In practice it is pretty well always necessary in building applications
on top of widely used compilers and libraries to have to workaround the
many bugs that they contain.

Since there is evidently no workaround for this issue in the Python
3.3.2 code, I have to assume that one is not considered to be
necessary, presumably because Microsoft has fixed (or intends to fix)
this issue.
