The problem was that the GObject type used for some constants didn't
match the type the python bindings thought they should be. The bug was
in libwnck, not in python-wnck, because the python bindings were right
about what the type should be and libwnck had it wrong, but to C
programs it didn't matter which type was used.

If you patched python-wnck and started using a newer, fixed libwnck,
that would create the problem in reverse but with identical symptoms. I
think libwnck 2.30.0 was the release that fixed it, so if you're using
that or newer make sure your python bindings are up to date and *not*
patched.
