Confirmed under Windows.  Here's the problem (Objects/descrobject.c, near line 1200,
in property_init(...):

	/* if no docstring given and the getter has one, use that one */
	if ((doc == NULL || doc == Py_None) && get != NULL && 
	    PyObject_HasAttrString(get, "__doc__")) {
		if (!(get_doc = PyObject_GetAttrString(get, "__doc__")))
			return -1;
		Py_DECREF(get_doc); /* it is INCREF'd again below */
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
		doc = get_doc;
	}

	Py_XINCREF(get);
	Py_XINCREF(set);
	Py_XINCREF(del);
	Py_XINCREF(doc);

If the refcount of get_doc drops to zero in the Py_DECREF(), the Py_XINCREF()
shortly after doesn't help ;-).
