Well spotted!  I think I introduced this bug while fixing another, related bug 
earlier.  I applied your patch, and also made similar changes to the other type 
registration functions.  Thanks!

Unfortunately, I didn't think of this before rolling Glib 1.212, so it still has 
the bug.  But the upcoming stable release won't.
