FWIW, this would probably be better on python-dev, but maybe you wanted to cut
down on potential noise and churn?

I sure can.  To me, AC is "the new feature" and as we continue to adopt it in
Python 3.4, we'll find more corner cases like this one.  Better to do what we
can to improve the situation now rather than have to wait until 3.5.
