Could you please supply the basis for the above assertion? My reading
of the docs for the built-in hash function, the docs for an object's
__hash__ method, and the source (dictobject.c, intobject.c,
stringobject.c) indicate (as I would have expected) that the hash of
an object is determined solely by the object itself, not by the
history of insertion into a dict (or multiple dicts!?).

Note that position_in dict = some_function(hash(obj),
size_of_dict) ... perhaps you are conflating two different concepts.
