[Bf-python] NMesh.getVertexInfluences is broken

[Tron Thomas]

I synchronized with the Blender source code a couple of days ago, and it 
looks like the NMesh.getVertexInfluences is broken.  I have a mesh that 
animates when I manipulate its parent armature, however 
NMesh.getVertexInfluences reports zero influences for each vertex in the 
mesh.
I'm wondering what people know about how this might have broke and when 
it might be fixed?
