What steps will reproduce the problem?

>>> ds = dicom.read_file('dicomfile.dcm')
>>> type(ds.SeriesInstanceUID)
<class 'dicom.UID.UID'>
>>> ds.SeriesInstanceUID = '1.2.3.01'
>>> type(ds.SeriesInstanceUID)
<type 'str'>

similar behavior after:
>>> ds.SeriesInstanceUID += '.1'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Not sure whether this is desired/able

What version of the product are you using?
>>> dicom.__version__
'0.9.4svn'

Fixed in revision aa61eab18e. Added check for UI in _convert function of 
dataelement,
and __new__ in UID class to prevent it from converting twice.
