No.  I tried pulling out a small excerpt to demonstrate the problem, but
properties were found before getattr.
(Just as should be expected from your example.)
I'm using __metaclass__ == type since I am all too prone to omitting
object when writing class statements.

I convinced myself from the unit tests, that I was falling into the
getattr processing and that the property was not getting found.  At this
point I can't recover what I actually did.  The code simply got pushed
into the getattr/setattr methods and I deleted the property references.

I reread the property/descriptor documentation and somehow managed to
convince myself that I should not have expected this to work.  Clearly I
should have written a simple standalone test.

Thanks for pushing me back towards reality.
