Closes SF bug #628246.
The _update method detected mutable elements by trapping TypeErrors.
Unfortunately, this masked useful TypeErrors raised by the iterable
itself. For cases where it is possible for an iterable to raise
a TypeError, the iterable is pre-converted to a list outside the
try/except so that any TypeErrors propagate through.
