What is this call doing? It should not be necessary, since you called
PyTuple_New.
This may explain why it does not crash with CPython: the tuple object always
leaks but happens to keep the necessary reference to the global object.
(PyPy does not use refcounting in tuples, so behaviour differs)

If you fix the tuple leak, you will certainly see that CPython needs the
additional  Py_XINCREF($1->node_tx) as well...
