Unfortunately, the order of the bases in the error message depends on
the order they come out of a dict.  As we all know, this is not a
recipe for happiness...

Not sure what to do about this; I'm just going to comment this test
out in my checkout so I can get on with my stuff.  Shout at me if I
check the test in like that!

Cheers,
