the new information you've provided here only reinforces the fact the current 
code is wrong.  properly document the append-flags and properly restrict it to 
when python-2 is being used.

considering python-2 is going to be in our lives for a while, how hard is it 
to backport the changes in question to the headers ?  presumably it's 
struct/union/cast shuffling in the headers.
