Maybe.

But my problem is not so much that it's broken, as nobody can
explain exactly what "fixed" would be. I mean, completely fixed,
not just one obvious problem fixed.

Just my opinion of course, but I think it would be best to have a
detailed description of how everything in inheritance is supposed to
work, write a set of tests from that, and then fix the implementation to
conform to the tests.

And I think a detailed description comes most easily when you have
a logical model to work from.
