I see my error now!  I was missing a call to SetUnjellyableForClass() (I
should use SetUnjellyableForClassTree() ).

The "module not allowed" exception is misleading, and stems from what appears
to be an obsolete branch "else" branch of jelly._Unjellier.unjelly(), judging
by the fact that it uses the temp variable jelType for something different
than the "if" branch.

Sorry for all the fuss. :-(
