[PyQt] itemview drag and drop problems

I've been playing around with the PyQt4.3a1 windows binary package and
have run into some problems. ItemViews appear to ignore the
ItemIsDropEnabled flag for top level items. Attached is a modified
simpletreemodel script that enables drags and drops for all items. Any
item can be dragged, but drops to top level items aren't allowed while
drops to second-level items are allowed. (Of course the code isn't
setup to accept drops, so there will be an error if you try to drop.)

It works as expected using PyQt 4.1.1 (yes, I'm a few releases behind)
on Windows (Python 2.4.3) and PyQt 4.1 on Mac (Python 2.4.3).

Any ideas?
