No, I can reproduce the problem (on a Mac with an Intel CPU) with the
current version, 1.02. I will have no time to work for a fix until (I
hope) next week, though (spending a long weekend hitch-hiking).

No, 'inf' is in fact not portable among different builds of Python for
different CPUs, in general.

You mean something like:
class inf(object):
def __radd__(self, other): return self
def __gt__(self, other): return self is not other
# etc
inf = inf()
