The doc of PyModule_AddObject()[1] states it steals a reference to *value*. But this is only the case when it succeed. On failure the reference is not stolen.
The usages of it across the code base are inconsistent. Some realizes this situation and depends on it: [2]. Some doesn't realize: [3]. Most just assume it always succeeds: [4].
BTW, it seems many modules doesn't release memories well in failure situations in their PyMOD_INIT. Maybe I miss some post-handling procedures?

This is a duplicate of issue26868 and issue26871. There is also a thread on Python-Dev.
