http://bugs.python.org/issue12773 :) The bug is marked as close, whereas the bug exists in Python 3.2 and has no been closed. The fix must be backported. It's not a bug; it's a feature.

Where does one draw the line between feature and bug? As a user I'm inclined to classify this as a bug: doc was writable with old-style classes; doc is writable with new-style classes with any metaclass; and there exists no good reason (that I'm aware of ;) for doc to not be writable.
