Ah yes, this was very much a problem of mine.  The "item" I was using 
was actually the "user" from the security manager.  This type of user 
only has the member data as property sheets.  But in my use-case, where 
I'm using this in a Plone environment, I can use the portal_memberdata 
(or was it portal_mebership?) tool to get the current "member" which is 
indeed a wrapped user.  And this member has a "getProperty" which indeed 
checks all propertysheets to retrieve the property you asked for.  So 
all is well.

Thanks.
