I stated a lot of that badly, but after reflection, no it makes total sense that the original code doesn't work as-is, and that it needs to be gotten around by creating a shim subroutine that gets inherited down the object hierarchy that runs against the Moose-built accessor. You can disregard the question.

It would, however, be pretty nice if Moose could support this sort of behavior natively and have it just work, instead of requiring that sort of workaround. Not conversant in the nuts and bolts of the Class::MOP internals, however, I'm not sure if such a thing is possible.
