I am still curious why a previous exception changed pickle behavior, and only in 3.2, but I would rather you fix another bug than speeding much time to get me up to speed on the intricacies of pickle ;-).

It was not about a previous exception. The issue is that pickle detected the recursion overflow but returned a successful status after having set the exception. This is the kind of mistake that produces strange "delayed" exceptions.
