Okay.  I have a smaller test case, though I don't know what I couldn't
find it earlier.  If you run "test.py DocumentTemplate UnicodeStr" by
itself, you get the crash.

The DocumentTemplate implementation has C and Python implementations of
some utilities.  It uses the C by default and falls back to Python if
the C extension can't be imported.  If I change the code so that it
always uses the Python implementation, the crash goes away.
