Not if they use the stable ABI. There still might be issues if you mix CRTs, but none related to the Python ABI - in particular, none of those crashing conditions can arise from the stable ABI. Won't there still be a problem of your extension module being linked with a CRT that may not be present on the target system?

Certainly. Anybody packaging an extension module needs to make sure all libraries it uses are either already on the target system, or delivered along with the extension module. Developers could refer users to the redist package, or they could literally include the CRT with their package (which is easier with VS2010 than it was with VS2008).
