bug in tkinter canvas event handling?

ok, i'm back with another tk problem.
what i want to do is attach a callback to a shape in a canvas
that will tell me which domain level object was picked.
seems simple, but i don't get what i expect. in particular,
if i press a mouse button while pointing to one object, then drag
to another and release, the release event callback tells me i
was pointing to the first object. i've distilled it down to a
small test case, attached below.
this seems like a bug to me, but experience has shown that it's
probably a misconception on my part about how the event handling
is supposed to work.
anyone have any ideas?
------------------------- code follows -----------------------
from Tkinter import *
def Up( id ):
print 'Up:', id
def Down( id ):
print 'Down:', id
root = Tk()
canvas = Canvas( root )
canvas.pack()
Wid = 40
Hgt = 25
x, y = 100, 64
shape1 = canvas.create_oval( x-Wid, y-Hgt, x+Wid, y+Hgt, fill='red' )
x, y = 200, 64
shape2 = canvas.create_oval( x-Wid, y-Hgt, x+Wid, y+Hgt, fill='blue' )
canvas.tag_bind( shape1, "<1>", lambda e: Down( 'shape1'
) )
canvas.tag_bind( shape1, "<ButtonRelease-1>", lambda e: Up( 'shape1' )
)
canvas.tag_bind( shape2, "<1>", lambda e: Down( 'shape2'
) )
canvas.tag_bind( shape2, "<ButtonRelease-1>", lambda e: Up( 'shape2' )
)
root.mainloop()
