If it's too hard to implement in Python code, why not add something to Modules/testcapimodule.c?

That would be harder, I think...

I think you're talking about the code near the end of typesetbases(). I still don't understand why you can'y just bail out?

I'm going to. But I'd still like a test against the old behaviour. It's not a big deal.
