That's a quirk rather than a problem - Object3D *does* return the subclass, but the compiler doesn't know this unless you tell it. If you cast the return value to your subclass (as in my example below) the code in the bug report will work fine.
I don't actually use Object3D - I was just asking how Object3D manages to pull this trick so I could do something similar in my own classes.
