Python-based QML element as a QML component doesn't trigger non-slot connections

For some reason non-slot connections do not work if a QML element implemented in Python is used as a component in QML.

Scenario:

• A QObject registered to QML has a signal
• It connects the signal to its own slots/non-slot methods
• One of its slots is triggered by QML . The handler emits the signal

Observation:

• The non-slots methods are not called
• The automatic registration of non-slot methods fails/causes a nested QMetaObject to be created

A minimal example is attached, output:

qml: trigger item
called myMethodSlot()
called onXChangedSlot()
qml: trigger item2
called myMethod()
called myMethodSlot()
called onXChanged()
called onXChangedSlot()
