Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
Ah, yes, you're right. I've copied the second test in wrong.
But the point is (still) the change in behaviour from 2.1.
That's still a bug fix, so OK it's changed, that being the nature of bug
fixes.
I'm happy to document this, as suggested. I'd be happy to instead just add
a warning saying "Meh, don't override methods added by the
metaclass....".
Between those, I quite like the option of documenting the solution, since
it opens the box for people a little. The warning just leads to a
"Why...?", and given that it's come up, it's presumably a valid use-case.
Anyhow, I'm leaving to to Mariusz now.
