Some more information: I tried downgrading to my previous configuration (SIP
4.1.1, PyQt 3.13, Qt 3.3.2) and the problem does not occur anymore. I
verified that it does not occur in either my application or Ulrich's
testcase error_ui.py (after having tweaked for execution with old PyQt which
does not have enum types), so I will assume that error_ui is a faithful
reduction of my problem.

This confirms that this bug is a regression introduced between PyQt 3.13 and
3.14 (or SIP 4.1.1 and 4.2).
