When passing object references into a function that accepts variadic 
arguments, it has to be explicitly cast as whatever the function is 
going to convert it to during extraction.  If not, then, due to vtable 
layouts and so forth, the pointer will likely be off a bit, and the 
program will segfault when it tries to use the object.

The only thing I can suggest is that object references be implicitly 
cast to Object when passed to a variadic function.
