This isn't a new bug, but it's exposed by always importing weakref and atexit during interpreter startup. I'm wondering if that's really necessary :) In short, the overall answer right now is, "maybe", and the answer later is "rather likely". ;-)

I would rather say that it's "rather certain".

functools is necessary for setup.py to work while bootstrapping, whereas pkgutil is used in runpy.py which is always imported in Modules/main.c.

So we're left with having to fix atexit to support subinterpreters. I wonder how difficult that will be.
