update 2:
This affects ALL functions which exhaust a generator expression. If that generator expression makes a recursive call, then the cost of evaluating it is O(depth), when it should be only O(1).
You can see demonstrate that this doesn't just affect builtins, by replacing max() with a custom implementation such as,
def custommax(it):
best = -9999999
for x in it:
if x > best:
best = x
return best
