In the OP's situation, two distinct function objects with differing
default values were showing up with a non-unique code object.   As a
result, when the OP's code failed, the traceback message pointed to the
wrong like in the file (the first seen function rather than the one
executing).

If some other code comparison application is more important, I would be
happy to reverse this patch and mark the bug as WON'T FIX.

While the OP's situation did sent him on a wild goose chase (trying to
debug the part of his code that did work), I can't imagine that it comes
up often enough to care much about.
