  This is certainly annoying.
  How about this: the callback receives the weak reference object or
proxy which it was registered on as a parameter.  Since the reference
has already been cleared, there's no way to get the object back, so we
don't need to get it from Java either.
  Would that be workable?  (I'm adjusting my patch now.)
