This was a bug I pointed out in version 5.0, fixed in version 5.0.3, with
description from the release text:
==> Object procedure naming
IDL now properly checks the number of arguments required
for object procedure methods that have the same name as
IDL system procedures.
I would recommend an upgrade to the latest version, 5.11 (which, by the way,
fixes the arg_present issue with _REF_EXTRA which had me so bothered).
