To close on this... there is indeed a bug involving super() and 
classmethods that is fixed in Python 2.2.1. That was one problem. The 
other problem is that the code should have been:

Class MyClass(SQLObject):
     def new(cls, **kw):
         obj = super(MyClass, cls).new(**kw)
         # ... do stuff ...
         return obj
     new = classmethod(new)

i.e., the super call must name MyClass (duh on my part, typo on Ian's, 
I'm sure).
