Yeah, any time someone implements their own attribute lookup process for a class (be it via __getattr__, __getattribute__ or the C equivalents), it is up to the reimplementation to appropriately format their error message if they raise AttributeError directly. This could possibly be made easier to do correctly via a specific AttributeError class method (also exposed through the C API) that accepted a type object and an attribute name and then produced a nicely formatted error message the way the builtin types do.
