I suppose this might be a problem if the value isn't actually a Python
float object, but I failed to get Qt Designer to crash with a custom
widget doing something similar. If I get a chance, I'll wrap up your code
in a Designer plugin and see what happens.

Note to Phil: the PyDemo example contains a __pyqtSignals__ attribute that
isn't actually a tuple.
