Fortunately, this is not a general problem!
I use lots of "here.APythonScript()" that work perfectly.

The code, you show us, should not affect compilation at all
as the "tal:replace" attributes are not evaluated during
compilation...

If your problem is reproducible with a few objects, you can
send me a zexp, tar or zip archive and I, too, will try
to reproduce the problem.
