Thanks for sharing these issues.
My pull request is still early stage and may have some bugs.
But I think it will solve many of issues because most odd behaviors comes from
difficult of consistency between linked list and dict.

I see.
Maybe, we can move Pure Python OrderedDict to collections._odict module,
and collections/__init__.py can be like this:

    from _collections import OrderedDict
    # Pure Python implementation can be used when C implementation
cause segfault.
    # from collections._odict import OrderedDict
