Seems as though cpython is broken when working with subinterpreters. The problematic change could be (d0d2965) affecting import.c.[1] Reverting this commit and rebuilding python fixes the issues on my system with some scripts that import sqlite, for example, the Kodi plugin YouTube[2] and the IMDB Trailers plugin. Others have reported similar breakage with other python code[3].

Presumably the problem relates to global state used in different interpreters leading to an inconsistent state in the crashing extension (or its dependencies).
@graysky, do you know if this was a problem before Python 3.8?

Interned strings were broken in #64257, see bpo-46006. Maybe that's also the issue here?
