Ok I've found the problem... When I said earlier that I tried disabling psyco, I seem to have made the silly mistake of disabling it on one project, and testing for the result on another. Mental note to self: opening more than 1 project at a time will only confuse your little mind.
Psyco causes the problem, and it's probably limited to my specific version of psyco (which is 1.5.1 final, for anyone that's interested). I could go dig deeper to see what causes that, but that will be for some other day... it's Friday for Pete's sake ;) Anyway, thanks a lot for your help Malcolm!
