I'm not sure what you're expecting it to do, but type.__init__ does
not actually do anything

type.__init__ is never bound.

No, type.__new__ does not call type.__init__ at all.  Rather, it is
type.__new__ that is responsible for copying the dict, not
type.__init__.  For this reason you should override type.__new__ in
your metaclass, not type.__init__.
