The assert(method != NULL) in CALL_NO_KW_LIST_APPEND is wrong -- this condition should lead to a deoptimization, and indeed there is a DEOPT_IF two lines later that will trigger if method == NULL.
Instead, add a different assert(self != NULL) after the DEOPT_IF().
This would crash in a devious repro scenario (first seen live in boto3 tests) when compiled with assertions enabled. In a production version there is no crash, so impact is limited.
(The crash also appears in main;see gh-108510.)
