I can reproduce the issue on 3.8, 3.9 and master branches:

It seems like the test was added recently:

    bpo-41468: Improve and test IDLE run error exit  (GH-21798)
    
    A message box pops up when an unexpected error stops the run process.  Tell users it is likely a random glitch, but report it if not.
