Sorry, I still don't understand the role of OverflowError.
With respect to my earlier suggestion that buffer protocol should have priority over __index__, note that the documentation implies the same order:
>>> help(bytes)
class bytes(object)
 | bytes(iterable_of_ints) -> bytes
 | bytes(string, encoding[, errors]) -> bytes
 | bytes(bytes_or_buffer) -> immutable copy of bytes_or_buffer
 | bytes(int) -> bytes object of size given by the parameter initialized with null bytes
 | bytes() -> empty bytes object
 |
 | Construct an immutable array of bytes from:
 | - an iterable yielding integers in range(256)
 | - a text string encoded using the specified encoding
 | - any object implementing the buffer API.
 | - an integer
..
