Thanks for explanation. You are right as I can recreate the problem
without Peak Rules using the following test program:
from peak.util.decorators import decorate

class MyClass(object):
    decorate(classmethod)
    def myclassmethod(cls):
        return cls.__name__

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print MyClass().myclassmethod() # throws exception under coverage

So is this likely a bug in coverage?

It works correctly with --timid. It's somewhat inconvenient because it
makes the tests run several times slower and nose's coverage plugin
doesn't expose that option.
