Long-term we should teach PyMalloc about Python's realloc() abuses and craft a cooperative solution.

That's what I think too. There's really not much point in trying to work around poor malloc() implementations when we've already got the cure built into Python... I just wish Vladimir would resurface again to complete his great work (AFAIK, pymalloc still has problems with threads).
