There's another instance of blitting a surface to itself crashing on Windows for a user, it's believed to be a 1.8.1 thing by the poster

last time it came up marcus was thinking about making pygame throw an exception on blitting a surface to itself, which still seems like a decent solution to me. Anybody know any more background?

At the time it was a pygame 1.7.1 bug, looking windows specific ( developers on Linux got no problem with blit over itself ), and the SDL version was wathever linked - recomended at pygame site ( the binaries readme tells it is 1.2.7 )
