Getting the __special_atts__ from self before calling the
super __setattr__ seems to cause this.

Alternatives that seem to work:

Call the super() before the if attr in __special_atts__.

Don't get __special_atts__ from self.  Maybe from self.__class__.

Get the attribute from self using object.__getattribute__() (yuck).

My favorite: avoid modifying __setattr__().
