I discussed the bug with the maintainer, but that doesn't seem very
obvious to fix. Apparently, we should tell vapigen to ignore this
symbol, or just not make it part of the API (hide it). It turned out
that using a struct solved this issue for vapigen, but pygobject was
also choking on the same "incomplete" public type (it's missing a
couple of things to be introspectable etc..) so, as long as the two
generators ignore this symbol we are fine...
