Deep python bug. Changing an object via propertyLink may touch unnecessary stuff [fix proposed]

[DeepSOIC]

Fixing this caused ScrewMaker to not work properly. See https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21039

I think I'm experiencing this bug again. I'm trying to recover one old project. And recomputing it with Part-o-magic observer running causes dependency graph to change (a loop is created). I need to investigate it more, this may take me forever to come up with a decent steps-to-reproduce sequence.

[DeepSOIC]

Currently, steps to reproduce are:
1 install Part-o-magic and Lattice2 (make sure to have the latest Lattice2, otherwise recompute fails now I patched Lattice to work around this bug)
2 open this file

It's a bit broken, because it has some old experimental containers. You can ignore that, as the dependencies look like all right.
3 right-click "Sketch - master section", Mark To Recompute
4 Recompute. The project recomputes fine.
But! the project just got a dependency loop, which can be seen in dependency graph. Any further recomputes are impossible.

Observations.
* pausing part-o-magic's observer before step 4 removes the problem.

[DeepSOIC]

Progress...
Uninstalled part-o-magic, but problem is still there!

In debugger, I get lots of writes to link properties.
For example. (this write doesn't cause problems by itself, but it shouldn't happen!)

This goes like that: LinearArray recomputes. It intensely updates read-onlyness of its own properties (calls setEditorMode()). Populate004 has a link property pointing to the LinearArray. And when LinearArray updates, it is modified, which for some reason triggers reassignment of Populate004's link to it.

Now this trace seems to be the actual culprit, but I struggle to understand where it comes from.

Somehow, Extrude's link property is modified as a result of expression engine executing this python string:
"App.getDocument('grinder_v02').getObject('Extrude').Dir.z = 0.25"
I still don't quite get, how it ends up modifying Extrude's link property...

Shorter.
1. Open file.
2. run:

App.ActiveDocument.getObject("Extrude").Dir.z = 0

-> graph changes.

EDIT: this does it too: App.ActiveDocument.getObject("Extrude").Label = "test"

I think this one is a more controlled way of reproducing the bug.
1. Load file.
