I *think* you want to return JS_FALSE from your setProperty function, 
but unfortunately I am unable to find anything that states this [1].

[1] http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/apidoc/gen/api-JSClass.html 
doesn't seem to define the semantics of the various functions you 
specify in the structure, but JS_PropertyStub simply returns JS_TRUE, so 
it seems logical.
