I'm a bit puzzled by this. Does this mean that being able to create
QButton, QLayout, QCanvasItem and other such abstract base classes is
also a bug in SIP? And if not, what is special about QListBoxItem?

As far as I can see from the Qt documentation, it should be possible to
create a custom QListBoxItem by reimplementing the paint(), height()
and width() members. Does this "fix" imply that this sort of thing is
not possible in PyQt?
