Bug? If not, how to work around it?

Right.  This is normal for special methods when invoked by special
notations (e.g., __len__ invoked by way of len(), __add__ invoked
by way of +, etc.).

Well, you have to actually call __iter__ to get the iterator:

    def __iter__(self):
        return self.__obj.__iter__()

(This makes iter(testobj) not quite the same as
iter(testobj.__obj) for new-style instances, mind you.)
