STINNER Victor <haypo at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

It looks that the problem is that PyErr_SetObject() is not re-entrant.
The crash occurs when PyErr_SetObject() is called (indirectly) by 
PyErr_SetObject(): tstate->exc_value value is changed (set to NULL).

As noticed by amaury.forgeotdarc, the problem is linked to be garbage 
collector: the crash occurs when the garbage collector calls a 
destructor which will reuse PyErr_SetObject().
