This feels like a bug to me; there is an order to the way things are  
supposed to happen (now if I could just find where I wrote it down)  
and it certainly should be the case that the superclass gets to do its  
work _before_ the subclass does anything. I've logged a bug and will  
try to get to it soon.

(On the positive side, I have a whole bunch of features that I need to  
add to LIFT for my own work so it's more likely that I'll be able to  
look into this at the same time...).
