Turns out that the problem is that "o" in this case is not really my
MyGadget type, but rather a QVariant (?) containing the MyGadget type
because it was exposed to QML via a C++ list model (the model data()
function returns the gadget wrapped in QVariant).

If I make a hack addition to my class like
Q_INVOKABLE MyGadget getMyself() const { return *this; }

then call
var o = theGadget.getMyself();
o.name = ...

it actually works.

If any of you have some better way to do this I'd be happy to learn about
it. The QVariant::value function is not callable in qml.

Could the behavior with silently ignoring assigning property values when
wrapped in QVariant be considered a bug? If so I'll make a bug report.

Best regards,
Ola
