One oddity: In Mark's test case, the error only shows if readline
is imported _before_ curses. The other way around it's fine.
On FreeBSD 8.0 amd64, with the _default_ libcurses, the Valgrind output
for py3k looks like this:

Then I installed the curses from /usr/ports/devel/ncurses, and the
error didn't show up any more. I'm inclined to think that the bug is
in the system ncurses. Still, it would be nice to know why the import
order matters.
