Yes, this is unfortunately a known bug. You can use mel.eval to hack around it.
thanks!
it's not very good news after spending half a day trying to find out
what i was doing wrong.
is this a bug in maya 2008, or is it unresolved in 2010 as well?
mel.eval doesn't look like a best option. i guess i'll go with another
hacky solution and
allow passing parameter list in two ways:
python: cmds.myCommand(allParams="param1;param2;param3")
mel: myCommand -param "param1" -param "param2" -param "param3"
and split "allParams" into multiple ones if "param" is not present.
