According to the documentation, PyIter_Next should raise TypeError if passed an object which is not an iterator as an argument. Instead, it calls a function through a null pointer, which leads to a crash.

This is a documentation bug.  As you noted, the input must be an iterator. It is up to the C programmer to assure this precondition is met.
