 From your description it sounded like the minimized test case should
 be like a couple lines of python, like, in pseudocode
 
     spawn("tip")
     close_pty()
 
 and since you work with pexpect you presumably already know how these
 "spawn" and "close_pty" are really spelled, so it shouldn't be that
 much of a trouble.
 
 Is it more involved then that?
