Odd, but nice.
Just so you know, what's probably happening is that PyGI was using g_object_new instead of the constructor you created in Vala. When you're writing a library, especially one meant to be consumed from languages other than Vala, it's generally a good idea to use GObject-style construction [1]. In your original example, simply replace "public RedSquare()" with "construct" and it should work as expected.
