I'm not too familiar with this code; shouldn't we be fixing the original
problem, of hasattr() wrongly returning False? I assume it predates the
branch, though?

While reviewing this I also noticed that svn_swig_py_convert_ptr() also
does this hasattr() check — not sure whether it needs to change too? —
and also has an "x | 0" construct, which seems suspicious (isn't it a
no-op?).

Hmm. Strictly speaking, the equivalent form would be:

try:
  value.assert_valid
except AttributeError:
  pass
else:
  value.assert_valid()

since we don't want to mask any AttributeErrors inside assert_valid().
I'm not sure how careful we are about this distinction, though.
