I tried with that version, and then added a print of my own.  I get: 1.0
0.0 0.0 0.0 False
Traceback (most recent call last): [...]
  File "D:\cvs\spambayes\spambayes\Outlook2000\dialogs\AsyncDialog.py",
line 46, in set_stages
    assert abs(start_pos-1.0) < 0.001, (
AssertionError: Proportions must add to 1.0 (1.0,(('', 1.0),),0.0)

I added as line 45:
        print start_pos, start_pos-1.0, abs(start_pos-1.0), 0.001, 0.0 <
0.001

So it's 0.0 < 0.001 that fails.  Got to go to a meeting now, will try
more afterwards.
