Seems like a bug, yes. Here the subclasses are simple leaf classes
which (correctly) don't set class_size, so the abstract parent
class must set class_size.

Bug (we haven't noticed because the only thing that creates them
is register_info() and it does object_initialize() into an existing
struct rather than trying to object_new() it).
