Content 
Unless there are some serious objections, I propose to close this on the basis of "practicality beats purity" (and as David Murray noted, there may not be a pure answer).   Eric Snow's comments are dead-on.

AFAICT, there isn't a real problem here and the API for better-or-worse has proven to be usable in practice (the callable() API has been around practically forever and the descriptor protocol has been around since Py2.2 -- if there were a real issue here, it would have reared it head long ago).
