This appears to be https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/24069
Python seems to be enforcing this behavior since early in the 3.12
cycle: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/changelog.html#id141
Locally, I applied the commit linked from that bug report:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/4bf9de87e700f0de56ef698a8d8d6eb7d4ff9050
It applied and built clean and I haven't had the issue since.
(Admittedly only a few hours, but as Harri noted, it happened almost
immediately before.)
Anyway, thanks for maintaining this. Cheers!

According to
https://www.reddit.com/r/kodi/comments/1coowz1/crash_in_pyimport_appendinittab_pyimport/?rdt=36220
this is a regression with python 3.12. If I move back to 3.11 the problem
disappears.
According to the reddit link the problem has been fixed with kodi 21. Looking
at the code in git this could be commit
1bfa3ef9e3b6d25d581bb1f48f6a740fca1c06cf.
