Well, if you would like people to look into possible core issues, then it would help using the latest released version (aka 2022.07).  Especially since 2021.04 is from before the new-disp work being merged, so it is not completely unlikely it functions better now.

It soon occurred to me that it would be a lot more fun to work in Raku instead of Python, and I recalled that it's supposed to be possible to get handles to Python objects from Raku and call methods on them seamlessly, so I tried to make it happen.  I got pretty far, but now I'm stymied.  Here are the steps I can take in the Raku interpreter:
