R. David Murray added the comment:

If I remember correctly there were non-trivial improvements made to the way 
modules are finalized in 2.7 compared to earlier versions.  That could be what 
exposed the bug.  The pre-2.7 code might have been leaving another reference 
alive because of your more complex real world example, whereas the simplified 
example doesn't.
