I don't think it's a bug.  Unless I'm missing something,
it's the 'names in class scope are not accessible' gotcha,
described and justified in the 'Discussion' section of PEP 227

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0227/

and somewhat more briefly in the reference manual:

http://docs.python.org/reference/executionmodel.html#naming-and-binding

The double underscores and name mangling are a red herring:
you can get the same effect with:

b = 1
class uno(object):
    b = 2
    def __init__(self):
        print b

uno()
