Status in pyexiv2, a python binding to exiv2: Fix Committed

Bug description:
When setting a "string" IPTC Tags with 'str', the cached value becomes a tuple. It is also the case with some multi-valued IPTC tag (like 'Iptc.Application2.Keywords') when set with one single str value.
But when the image is read again, it has its correct value. 
I thought it was relevant to bug #183332 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyexiv2/+bug/183332) but I checked:
 - the bug's fixe (fix N°95 in bzr) is in my version of pyexiv2 (debian 0.1.2-4+b1)
 - even with pyexiv 0.1.3 (with exiv2 0.18) the "bug" is still there.
