[IronPython] very strange dictionnary bug

[Dino Viehland]

I haven't seen anything like this before... But I have a couple of questions:  Are the keys always strings when it repros?  And is the dictionary always created using the {} syntax?

I ask because we have a lot of different dictionary implementations, or there could be a bug where we have different instances of some basic object that are hashing differently for some reason (although given the code below, that seems strange).

By the way, the environment in which the bug shows up is single-threaded, so I do not suspect any concurrent access problem.
