i dont know if this is correct. AFAIK that update is an expensive call, and 
the idea is that operations (like parenting there?) that need a recalc have 
that flagging which was already there.

then it is unclear when to do the actual update. basically the whole DAG 
should be hidden from users (including scripters), but it may not make sense 
to have the update call there always in every method. like if a script 
changes the parenting of thousands of objects .. well that flush seems to be 
tied to a certain object, so perhaps it is good.

just wanted to bring this up so that a possible problem wont go unnoticed. but 
hopefully that is already the good solution and i reacted in vain..

 	/* since we have messed with object, we need to flag for DAG recalc */
 	self->object->recalc |= OB_RECALC_OB;  
+	DAG_object_flush_update(G.scene, self->object, OB_RECALC_DATA);
