I have tracked down what I think is the precise problem: Instantiating a 
class with an Init!() specified from Python doesn't work. (The resulting 
Python object is useless.) I'm tentatively putting it down to the stuff 
I did recently to soften the symbol length issues. I'll be changing a 
bunch of that stuff back, and seeing if that fixes it.

This probably means the symbol length stuff won't get resolved until 
__traits is up to snuff (which should solve the problem entirely).
