Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org> added the comment:

I don't think this is actually incorrect. Basically setting something in the class body is not equivalent to setting it as an attribute on the class.

This happens with other attributes. Consider

>>> class X:
...     __class__ = list
... 
>>> X.__class__
<class 'type'>
>>> X().__class__
<class 'list'>
