This issue exists in Qt as well. For example, if you set checkable=true on a 
QPushButton, you can set checked=true only after that call.

The declaration in qabstractbutton.h looks like:

 Q_PROPERTY(bool checkable READ isCheckable WRITE setCheckable)
 Q_PROPERTY(bool checked READ isChecked WRITE setChecked DESIGNABLE 
isCheckable ....)

uic will set the properties in that order and all will work well. Note how the 
boolean DESIGNABLE function influences the enabling of the property in Qt 
Designer.
