I have a vague memory of fixing code in jsobj.c that ignored a false 
return from OBJ_LOOKUP_PROPERTY, but I can't find said code right now.  
That would do the trick though -- I'm just surprised you happened to 
depend on that bug.  Even though compatibility is important, in this 
case I'd like to stick with the bugfix, at the loss of utter bug for bug 
compat.
