[Bf-python] Python context state bug?

[Bassam Kurdali]

can this happen from having multiple update handlers/ property updaters
etc. in your scene? or is that guaranteed to execute in a sane way?
If the former I can expect to see these errors just from installing
multiple addons, rather than a bug in a single addon, which feels
wrong.

This is something you are not supposed to do actually, at least without knowing exactly what you're doing (such access is required for render engines to work but there we have special code which guarantees stability in the python bindings).
