It shouldn't always return True -- it should return a tuple of type (bool, dict). The first element is whether it's inside, and the second is a dictionary of indices of subobjects (used only for Collections). Unfortunately, this tuple always evaluates to True. Have you tried changing your contains test from ".contains()" to ".contains()[0]"?
If that's not what's happening for you, can you send a self-contained example that illustrates this bug? (I noticed the looking_glass.py example has this bug -- I'll fix that.)
