I've just posted a simple patch to the patches list which implements the idea I posted earlier:

Silent truncation still takes place, but in a somwhat more natural way ;-) ...

                   /* Silently truncate to INT_MAX/INT_MIN to
                      make passing sys.maxint to 'i' parser
                      markers work on 64-bit platforms work just
                      like on 32-bit platforms. Overflow errors
                      are not raised. */
                   else if (ival > INT_MAX)
                           ival = INT_MAX;
                   else if (ival < INT_MIN)
                           ival = INT_MIN;
                   *p = ival;
