Ralf, your issue is arising because of revision 53655 which fixes SF 1615701.

I have backed out this change for 2.5.1.

Am leaving this open for others to discuss and decide. The old behavior was surprising to some, but the revised behavior also appears to have some unforeseen consequences.

Anthony and I talked about this a bit. The current behavior seems less than optimal. However, changing it in a bug fix release seems particularly risky.

P.S. In addition to rev 53655, a number of similar changes were made to sets.

Raymond, can you revert the changes? I looked in Objects/setobject.c and saw 53667. Is that the revision you are referring to? Are there any other revs?

Thanks, n
