One other thought... have you tried explicitly namespace scoping your object... I know that there were some namespace issues with the early 1.3 series.

try: TestA ::a ::a x 1

I'm using XOTcl 1.3.1.

This code:

    Object instproc someFilter {args} {
        puts "self class        = [self class]"
        puts "self called class = [self calledclass]"
        puts "self              = [self]"
        puts "self calledproc   = [self calledproc]"
        puts "args              = $args"
        puts ""
        next
    }

    Class TestA -parameter {{x 0}}
    TestA filter someFilter

    TestA a
    a x
    a x 10

produces this output:

    self class        = ::xotcl::Object
    self called class =
    self              = ::TestA
    self calledproc   = a
    args              =

    self class        = ::xotcl::Object
    self called class = ::xotcl::Class
    self              = ::TestA
    self calledproc   = unknown
    args              = a

    self class        = ::xotcl::Object
    self called class = ::xotcl::Class
    self              = ::TestA
    self calledproc   = create
    args              = a

    self class        = ::xotcl::Object
    self called class = ::xotcl::Class
    self              = ::TestA
    self calledproc   = alloc
    args              = a

    invalid command name "a"

Note that filtering on "TestA a" seems to prevent the creation of an obj named "a". Any ideas?
