Yes, the code is wrong. But the reason is that myMethod is assigned in 
FormCreate. The later "@myMethod := pMethod;" assignment overwrites only 
half of the myMethod:TProc variable and so correct Self stays in the 
second half of myMethod.

Remove FormCreate and you get an AV.

Furthermore, "Format('0x%P',[@Myself])" doesn't make sense - it should 
be "Format('0x%P',[Pointer(Myself)])".

No bug at all - just wrong code.
