Yes, you did. The kind of bug reports that doesn't elicit the usual `yes,
please do send ...' and `yes, we do need ...' responses from Alexandre ;-)

Hmmm ... as far as I can see, the C++ front-end should issue an error
when it sees this code since the leftmost bases must be all COM. Wonder
if I goofed when I added the change that allows for *multiple* COM base
classes, as long as all of those are leftmost. I'll double check with
my local tree and the mainline one.

Thanks for the well researched bug report.
