Please note that "assignment to __dict__" is listed as an open item.

The latter: not at all. If you can come up with a patch to PEP 253,
that would be best - submit it to SF. I like your notion that
assignment to __dict__ should be allowed if the class is dynamic.

If you merely want to state the problem, please submit a bug report in
the type/class unification category.
