[issue35961] test_slice: gc_decref: Assertion "gc_get_refs(g) > 0" failed: refcount is too small

Josh, I'd say the speed of this code doesn't matter one whit to anything.  Like you, I'd _prefer_ that the issue be fixed by building "real tuples" that own their own references, which would also (as you showed) allow for briefer, simpler, clearer code.  But I'm OK with playing obscure GC tricks too.
