Yea, you're right. Cells itself is perfectly fine. The mentioned change just
uncovered an old issue in cells-gtk:

In widgets.lisp defmodel introduces a slot called container that creates an 
accessor also called 'container' which apparently overwrites the generic
function container defined in fm-utilities.lisp.
It seems cells:container-typed calles the accessor (cells-gtk:container)
instead of cells-container defined just above it. Upper uses container-typed.

Simply renaming container's accessor to container-of in widgets.lisp 
resolved the problem so far. Currently I don't have the time to test or
investigate the issue properly, though.

Sorry for suspecting cells of being the evil.
