More investigations reveals that the objects are being at least 
partially copied. 'simple' variables (strings etc) are copied by arrays 
are not.

I have managed to work around this by adding a method fix to the class 
which reinitalised the instance arrays to [] and fix'ing the newly 
dup'ed instances.

This appears to be a bug in ruby.  I'll see if I can reproduce it in a 
small program.
