    Research direction

    Start by running the reproduction in bases.py and confirm the object.new behavior after changing bases. Then trace the relevant interpreter-core handling and review the linked BPO discussion to determine the intended behavior. Done means a focused regression test captures the case and the behavior is corrected without breaking existing object construction.
