Sorry - I haven't had the time to look into it fully. From what I
understend:

1. chop() function does not work for you - does it work for standard
collections? What behaviour are you observing? (I have problem running
test - I got massive critical warnings)
2. if you override the chop() the libgee version still gets called

In case 1) it looks like libgee bug (either code or docs), 2) is
definitely Vala bug.
