The "self" parameter is supposed to be optional unless you *want* to
reference the calling context.

I thought it might help out to catch "self" explicity because the OP was
having a problem with a variable inexplicably turning out to be the
wrong type with no intervening manipulation.  

But maybe that's grasping at straws... if so, I don't have a *good*
theory on what's going wrong.
