[...in 2.2.3 it dies with no segfault by no exception message either...]

Could you post a minimal example of code which provokes this
behaviour?

Without seeing code, I speculate irresponsibly: the SyntaxWarning
is unrelated to the segfault; the segfault might be due to
PyErr_NormalizeException somehow being called when no exception
has been set. (The bug fix in Python/errors.c revision 2.77 (part
of 2.3b1, backported to 2.2.3 in revision 2.66.10.2) seems
relevant.)
