It's not crashing, it's an assertion failure.

It's checking that an attribute with a particular special name is a list
and failing if not. In your test it is a MockCallable instance instead.

I could remove the assertion and just silently ignore anything that is an
unexpected type - but I'm not sure if that breaks your mock object.
