Bug report: instanceof incompatible with mozilla_compat's importClass

[Tal Liron]

Hm, something very strange is happening, because I'm also unable to 
isolate this exception.

Moreover, the exception is coming from importPackage in mozilla_compat, 
not importClass. However, nowhere am I calling importPackage. Do you 
have any idea what could be causing this oddity?
