The only way I can think of getting around this is to make
sure that there is always a running python frame.
This would be possible if you can control how the
extension is called.

Then there is no other way than to report the bug, get the
fix back-ported and nagging the PL/Python maintainers
to update things after the fix.
Also a test should be added which is probably missing since a while.

I'd put a warning somewhere that generators are broken in
debug mode, file an issue as well, but avoid trying to hack
around this. It would make the bug even more resistent :-)
