Only, if "_stupid_dest" is something very strange (e.g.
something with a "__getattr__"), could this code cause
a "Recursion level exceeded" exception.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to help you in this strange
situation:

  You get a "Recursion level exceeded" exception with a
  traceback that does not fit with the exception.

  When I meet such a situation, I start debugging.
  Unfortunately, this is not trivial.

Maybe, you can look for WingIDE, a Python IDE with support
for Zope debugging. It is not free (in the sense of costless)
but there is a trial version.
With its debugger, you can try to set breakpoints at places
mentioned in your traceback and single step from them to
understand what happens.
