It's to do with how SIP implements lazy methods (to save on memory and
startup time). super seems to be bypassing the hook (maybe it uses
tp_getattro rather than tp_getattr). Should be fixable - I'll have a look.

A (not very satisfactory) work around is to make sure the attribute is in
the instance dictionary before super looks for it, ie. insert this before
the call to super...

a.emit
