It seems possible to create new type objects still with PyObject_New() instead of calling the type object. Is this a bug?
Not sure what you are asking: I assume you are *not* asking about new type objects (as created by typeobject.c:type_new), but instead about instance of newstyle classes (i.e. instance of type objects). Correct.
Why would you then think that using PyObject_New is a bad thing?
IIUC, PyObject_New doesn't call the tp_new, tp_alloc, and tp_init slots. So, the new object probably will be in an invalid state, may be allocated by an allocator not compatible with the tp_dealloc slot?
