The contents of AfterConstruction don't matter. If the instance is freed before
the constructor had a chance to call AfterConstruction, the self pointer won't
be valid anymore in the constructor and hence the call to AfterConstruction may
crash.
Note that in svn trunk, self can no longer be freed before AfterConstruction
has been called because of the fix from
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=16884.
