dojo.mixin generates inconsistent mixins

Description
- Go to some test page like http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/checkout/dijit/tests/ProgressBar.html
- In the console (Firebug lite or the browser's native console), evaluate:
dojo.mixin({}, new Function()).constructor == Function
In IE6, the answer is true. In all other browsers, the answer is false. Who is right?
Technical details: dojo.mixin is defined in _base/lang.js. IE6 has("bug-for-in-skips-shadowed"). The first loop on line 23 is skipped by all browsers (empty lambdas have no iterable properties). In IE6 only, the has condition kicks in and forces a copy of some hard-coded properties from the function onto the empty object. The result is that the mixin gets the Function constructor in IE6. Again, I'm not sure who is right.

I just did a quick study of the issue with the document
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src = "./dojo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.ready(function(){
dojo.byId("result").innerHTML = "and the answer is " + (dojo.mixin({}, new Function()).constructor == Function);
});
</script>
<head>
<body>
<p id="result">loading</p>
</body>
</html>
I tested on IE 9, 8, 6, FF12, Chrome18 against trunk and version 1.5.2.
- trunk and v1.5.2 behave identically
- IE9, FF12, Chrome18 all return false
- IE8 and IE6 both return true
Since the behavior is identical between 1.5.2 and trunk and since I think this should cause not problems, I'm marking wontfix.
Can you think of anything really bad that would happen as a result of this ticket? If not, please mark as wontfix.
