I would rather just have

    method = find_method (in_class, ..., klass);
  + if (!method && in_class != klass) {
  +    method = find_method (klass, ..., klass);
  +    if (method)
  +      g_warning ("your code may be depending on non-standard semantics"
..);
  +  }

The issue is that the signature was inflated prematurely when the assembly was
created.  Re-inflating it again is a bad idea, imho.  I think the above
semantic is at least defendable: "If you can't match it against the GTD, see if
you can match with just the type itself."

Caveat, I haven't tested this code at all :-)
