This does not happen for me, using Python 2.7.6 and bs4 version 4.4.1.

sys.getrecursionlimit() was 1000 for me as well, but even when I joined 5000 '<br>' tags it ran with no problems. I got lots of '<br/>' tags, so it looks like they were all turned into self-closing tags.

It doesn't look like this was explicitly fixed in 4.4.1, so it's possible there's just something strange about my machine or that some other change fixed this.
