You really don't like it, do you ;-)?
I'd say this should work and remove the need for keep_tree, though.

Sidenote: So I thought maybe we should revise the use of TREE in objectify in general, but one has to be very careful. You really want to have it e.g. in objectify.Element():

>>> o = objectify.Element("structural")
>>> e = etree.Element("structural") 
>>> type(o), type(e)
(<type 'objectify.ObjectifiedElement'>, <type 'objectify.ObjectifiedElement'>)
>>> root.o = o
>>> root.e = e
>>> # Now type lookup can not rely on parent == None
... 
>>> type(root.o), type(root.e)
(<type 'objectify.ObjectifiedElement'>, <type 'objectify.StringElement'>)
>>>
