I'd say it's not a bug.  It's a natural consequence of the way new-style
classes are intended to work.  OTOH, opening a bug report may result in
improvement of the documentation -- if you do choose a bug report, I'd
suggest taking that tack.

This is Python.  We don't care much about theory, except where it intersects 
with useful practice.  --Aahz
