Yes. I finally understood the decision and now I agree it's not a bug,
it's the intended behaviour. If the explicit class is part of the
hierarchy but not a subclass of base classes metaclass, it will search
for the more specialized metaclass and use it, since it will have
anything the class need and conforms to the metaclass I set explicitly.

I will change the bug report and add some of the suggested
documentation.

Thanks
