Comment(by SimonKing):

 And there it is:
 {{{
 sage: M = parent(matrix(ZZ, 3,4, [1,2,3,-4,7,2,18,3,4,3,4,5]))
 sage: mf = M.construction()[0]
 sage: mf.domain()
 Category of rings
 sage: mf.codomain()
 Category of rings
 sage: M in Rings()
 False
 }}}

 So, the problem is that I gave the matrix constructor got a wrong
 codomain, namely the category {{{Rings()}}} --- and my generic
 {{{__call__}}} method checks whether the output belongs to the intended
 category. What should be the right choice?
 {{{
 sage: M.categories()
 [Category of modules over Integer Ring, Category of bimodules over Integer
 Ring on the left and Integer Ring on the right, Category of left modules
 over Integer Ring, Category of right modules over Integer Ring, Category
 of commutative additive groups, Category of commutative additive monoids,
 Category of commutative additive semigroups, Category of additive magmas,
 Category of sets, Category of sets with partial maps, Category of objects]
 }}}
 Since the construction functor can not know about the base ring, I guess
 {{{CommutativeAdditiveGroups()}}} would be the way to go.
