My first step would be to see if the same failure happens when using 
Perl and FreeTDS.  This would tell you if the problem is in FreeTDS or not.

I think it possible to get FreeTDS to produce copious debugging - this 
might let you compare what the Python module is doing relative to the 
Perl module.
