I think the real problem is that the GC API changed between 2.1 and
2.2, and that the only "backwards compatibility" provided is
a) existing modules fail to load instead of outright crashing
b) recompilation of existing modules disables GC support in
   those modules instead of giving bad code.

I guess only few modules will suffer from that, since not much
extension types have been supporting GC. Unfortunately, pyexpat is one
of them.
