I wrote a smaller version of the code that fails and had a session with
gdb.

My object implements tp_compare but lookdict() uses richcompare.
If richcompare is not implemented do_richcompare() falls back to
comparing PyObject * pointers - which is cause of the KeyError
as the objects cmp() eq but have different PyObect * values.

This is a change from V2 python where to be a key implementing
tp_hash and tp_compare is sufficient.

In V3 is it your intention that to be a key you must implement
tp_hash and tp_richcompare? If not I'll raise a bug against
3.0 on this issue.
