First of all: thanks for the pointer, you have ended a lot of hair
pulling for me. But IMO this is not just a common gotcha but a serious
bug. I have a few plugins I am trying to convert to Moose::Role's that
desperately need both
  before 'setup_components'
and
  after 'finalize'

This just isn't going to work one way or the other :(

Maybe I can whip up some testcases tomorrow ..
