Indeed.  The behavior I intuitively expected is indeed what one get's and I
was off somewhere in la-la land misundertanding my error messages. Deja vu,
again.

And as it turns out,  a little experimentation indicates more thought as to
when in sub's __init__ its parent's __init__ is called might indeed be the
full answer to my issue.

A little simpler than I had hoped ;)
