There is an inconsistancy in the way that dictionary subclasses behave when they are used as as namespaces in execs. Basically, while python 2.4 permits the usage of dictionary subclasses for local environments, it still bypasses the subclass functions and uses the C API for global environments. The attached patch (and unittest!) addresses this issue.

Please submit the patch to SourceForge and report back with the SF ID.
