Description
For example:
class test(bytes):
def __init__(self):
self.it= False
def __iter__(self):
self.it = True
return self
def __next__(self):
raise StopIteration
# via for loop
t = test()
for x in t: pass
assert t.it
# via list
t = test()
list(t)
assert t.it
This issue also seems to occur for other iterable base classes:
str: fails on list calltuple: StackOverflowExceptionlist: StackOverflowExceptioncollections.deque: fails on for loop and list callset: fails on for loop and list call- other cases?
Hit this failure while trying to run ipy -m pip install pyserial.

Research direction
Start by running the provided IronPython reproducer for the bytes subclass, then compare it with the listed str, tuple, list, deque, and set cases. Trace the iteration behavior for both a for loop and list conversion, and consider the issue done when the expected iter calls occur without recursion or stack overflow.
