Here's some oddness - try executing the following set of commands:
===================================
def delayedError():
import maya.OpenMaya as api
import maya.cmds as cmds
dagMod = api.MDagModifier()
manip = dagMod.createNode("textButtonManip")
dagMod.doIt()
mfnDag = api.MFnDagNode(manip)
name = mfnDag.fullPathName()
typeName1 = cmds.nodeType( name )
def testDelayedError():
delayedError()
import sys
def testNoDelayedError():
delayedError()
print "foo"
import sys
testNoDelayedError()
testDelayedError()
===================================
You should get a TypeError on on the "import sys" statement of
testDelayedError.
But notice that testNoDelayedError does NOT raise a TypeError.
Confused? Good, so am I.
It seems that the 'cmds.nodeType( name )' statement is trying to raise
a TypeError - which makes sense, since manipulators are supposed to be
hidden from mel - only the TypeError somehow gets delayed. ie, if you
execute delayedError, nothing will happen... BUT, you will get
TypeError raised on the very next statement you execute - in this
case, a simple "import sys".
Yay! Magic delayed TypeError!
BUT... if the very next statement is a print statement, your TypeError
is magically cleared!
Yay! Magic disappearing delayed TypeError!
...
Anyway, I'm posting this here so someone else can confirm they get
this behavior too, before I make a bug report / throw it on

I was using Maya 2008 Ext 2, x64, Windows XP x64 Service Pack 2
...by the way, anyone know the reason that Autodesk "hides" their bug
lists? It must mean lots more duplicated bug reports...
