Thanks for the good analysis and suggested fix.  I believe both are correct and they match the behavior of real dictionaries. 

  def _from_iterable(self, it):
     return set(it)

Proposed tests to match real dicts:

  x = MySimpleMapping()   # from stuzback's example
  x['red'] = 5
  y = x.keys()
  assert isinstance(y, collections.Set)
  assert not isinstance(y, collections.MutableSet)
  z = x.keys() | {'orange'}
  assert type(z) is set
