I'm in holiday mode - so my mind's already going fuzzy - hope there's
still enough of it left to help...

Where abouts in ObjectUtil is it being called?
Why's the setup being called twice?

What does your custom element subclass? And what elements does it contain?

Is the problem that your custom element's setup method is still
calling SUPER::setup() (extending) when you should be overriding
setup() ?
