 Hi Michael,

 the problem was the [self callinglevel] in the nesting uplevel calls.
 Tcl reports in the nesting case a [info level] of 2 although there
 are three levels on the stack. xotcl tries to skip filters and mixin-frames
 and it pointed incorrectly to the invocation frame and not to the variable
 frame. I have fixed the problem at least for your example, all regressions
 tests continue to work. If you come up with more such examples, please
 let me know.

 the problem is fixed in the current working release and should be
 available soon.

 best regards
-gustaf neumann
