But inspect is in the stdlib. Surely changing inspect.py is less controversial than amending the semantics of frame objects.

I've no idea, I'm just giving a case where I could have used the ability to create traceback objects even without the ability to create stack frames (changing the stdlib may also be an option, though I'd hope the explicit type checks were put in there for a reason)
