doctest fails to see tests in decorated functions

I've just spotted a bug in doctest that it fails to see tests inside decorated functions. It's been reported before: http://bugs.python.org/issue1108 but the patch submitted doesn't work for me. I have a test script on the page demonstrating the problem. Can anyone give me some clues as to a work
