Property and "fset" in Python 2.4

[Rob Pawsner]

With this setup --

    PythonWin 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] 
on win32.

-- I'm seeing the old bug which made "fset" methods unusable with declared 
properties of a class. Even worse, this is happening with a 
fourth-generation descendent of the Object class, not an old-style class as 
in "python-Bugs-1207379", 
http://www.mail-archive.com/python-bugs-list@python.org/msg03434.html.

Before I clog up the digest with details and code snippets, does this sound 
familiar to anyone?
