Specific enough yet? Seems the WeakValueDictionary and the module clearing aren't necessary. A subclass of weakref is created. The target of this weakref is added as an attribute of the weakref. So long as a callback is present there will be a crash on shutdown. However, if the callback prints the attribute, you get a crash right then. The weakref claims to be dead, which shouldn't be possible when the weakref's attributes have a strong reference to the target.
