This is a bug but I don't think it is fixable. Trying to integrate QML with (dynamic) Python is never going to work as well as with (static) C++. PyQt does it's best to fool QML into thinking it is talking to C++ but I think this is a step too far. The QML implementation just keeps too much information under the covers.

Generally I'd recommend keeping the QML to a minimum - just use it to implement the view and implement all model and controller code in Python.
