this mapping is incorrect. mapper(C) cannot be polymorphic on a table which
is not part of its mapping, and mapper(C) does not contain an "inherits"
keyword to that of A. Usually the "polymorphic_on" setting is on the
base-most mapper in the hierarchy and its not clear here which mapper you
intend for that to be.
