Summary: __imul__ broken for 'object's

Initial Comment:
class Breaky(object):
    def __imul__(self, other):
        print "imuling"
        return self
sq = Breaky()
sq *=1.

gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):[...] line 10, in ?
    sq *=1.
TypeError: can't multiply sequence to non-int

Yes, it's a valid bug.
Yes, GvR already fixed it.

Verified that above code fails in 2.2 but runs fine in for 
2.2.2 and 2.3.

Closing bug.
