Indeed, 
https://docs.python.org/2/reference/expressions.html#membership-test-details
states:

 For the list and tuple types, x in y is true if and only if there
 exists an index i such that x == y[i] is true.

Now, to check if IronPython honors this.

> assert a in (a,), 'a is in (a,)'
> assert a in (b,), 'a is in (b,)' # this one fails...

My guess is it's cutting corners by comparing hashes instead.
