The problem is this block in the code for Set:

try:
    X = frozenset(X)
except TypeError:
    return Set_object(X)
else:
    return Set_object_enumerated(X)

When the entries of X are not hashable, frozenset(X) fails, but it still accesses X. If X is a generator, you lose the first entry of X this way. This change in sage.set.set might fix it:
