Is that problem only theoretical (like, "you shouldn't be doing that") or does it have some practical consequences (crashes, incorrect operation, etc.)?

I'm certain that it is a "theoretical" problem, but AFAICT it doesn't have any practical consequences. I've been running python-3.8+swig-3.0.12 for quite some time now any I didn't observe see any issues. And I know a lot of other people are running a similar combo too..

I think the "benignness" of this assertion failure was the reason it took so long to find/fix this bug.
