Drat, that's a bug. The WithProperties instance is supposed to be replaced
with a string by the time the arguments get sent to the buildslave, but I had
to refactor the handling of self.args in a number of places, and it looks
like I missed something.

I'll try to address that tonight. Thanks for catching this before the
release!

cheers,
