I was taking a similar approach this morning in troubleshooting this. Turns
out I was importing Paragraph as:

from reportlab.platypus.para import Paragraph

Whereas test_platypus_pleaseturnover.py uses:

from reportlab.platypus.paragraph import Paragraph

I hadn't noticed the former was experimental. Changing my pto_test.py file
to use the latter fixes the problem. I'm not sure what the official status
of para.py is, so this may not be a bug at all.

Thanks for the help,
