Thank you for the snippets. I had poured over the unit tests and seen similar examples of how to do this already, but two commentless replies inspired me to trace through this in a debugger.
The issue ended up being that I was erroneously under the impression I was calling a static method, and was retrieving the method off of the 'type' object, rather than an instance of the type. The error you get back is the generic "no method matches given arguments", because my local 'desired_method' expected an initial 'self' argument, and so silently took 'arg_a' to be 'self'. This meant MethodBinder.Bind() only thought it had 1 input argument and could not match it to any of the overloads.
