You are right. I just tried to use precompiled IDL files instead of
importing them at run time and everything works fine. What I personally
find especially strange that this affects only enumerations.

After a brief look at the importIDL definition I can't see anything
wrong with it (though I'm neither a omniORB nor a Python internals
expert). Could this even be a bug in Python itself. (I tested this with
Python 2.2 as well and the same problem existed.)
