I've added a couple of print statements...

#! /usr/bin/env python
import qt
import sys
 
app = qt.QApplication (sys.argv)
main = qt.QMainWindow ()
 
text = qt.QTextBrowser (main)
mime_default = qt.QMimeSourceFactory ()
text.setMimeSourceFactory (mime_default)
 
#mime_path = qt.QStringList
('/n/gold/6/ware/Research/projects/grading/doc')
#mime_default.setFilePath (mime_path)
 
mime_default.setText ('help-start.html', '<b>this is a test</b>')
mime_default.setText ('test.html', '<b>test 2</b>')
 
#
# Comment out just one of these and it works
#
print text.mimeSourceFactory().data('test.html',text.context())
text.setSource ('help-start.html')
print text.mimeSourceFactory().data('test.html',text.context())
text.setSource ('test.html')
 
main.setCentralWidget (text)
app.setMainWidget (main)
 
main.show ()
app.exec_loop ()

The call to mimeSourceFactory().data() is what is failing inside the
second setSource(), and this failing is caused by the first setSource().

Looking at the comments in the Qt documentation for
QMimeSourceFactory::data() I'd guess that this is just the way it works
and not a PyQt problem.
