The bug is caused by the fix for another bug you reported (related to properties) which itself was caused by changes in Qt v5.8.0.

I think it is more important that properties work than the ability to define JavaScript functions.

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.
