@pablogsal I'm unsure if this it the correct place to start tracking the newly created pattern object. My reasoning was that AFAICS, it seems to be fully initialised here, unless I've missed something.

IMO it's the right place.
It must be called before the first DECREF(self), otherwise PyObject_GC_UnTrack() crash in dealloc.
Usually, it's better to only track an object once it's fully initialized, but here it's more convient to do it here to be able to simply call DECREF() on error. The bare minimum is that traverse must be crash when an object started to be tracked. I added a test in debug mode for that: see traverse(visit_validate) in PyObject_GC_Track().
