This rings a bell for me. 
I recently was confused why I needed to use
SET_PROPERTY in some of the custom_cell_renderers after I upgraded
my Perl version to 5.8.8. 

Then it was pointed out to me, by Daniel Kasak, 
that you need the latest Gtk-Perl module ( Gtk-1.116 )  for the sub-classing 
properties to work right in Perl-5.8.8

So if your Perl is 5.8.8 , try Gtk-Perl module ( Gtk-1.116 ) or later.
