What's broken is the idiom bundle.member -= decrement bundle.member += increment and the moment I saw that I thought "Uh oh, that's not going to work, is it?" If you replace it with bundle.member = bundle.member - decrement bundle.member = bundle.member + decrement it should work fine. Obviously, however, we need to either (a) make the idiom you cited work right or (b, last resort) disallow it with an error message -- and not just silently mess up.
