Problem summary
Nuke doesn't correctly load a script correctly when a callback contains nuke.thisNode(), resulting in any Nodes after a Gizmo not loading, when there is a node with an invalid expression before it or the node the gizmo is expression linked to is created after the gizmo.

Steps to reproduce
1) Add the attached gizmo and menu.py to your .nuke directory

Other repro steps:
1) Launch Nuke
2) Create a Groups node, then export as gizmo... and save it to your ~/.nuke directory
3) From the tab menu, run Update [All Plugins]
4) Create the Gizmo you exported
5) Add any user knob to the Gizmo, like a Floating point slider
6) Create any other node with a matching knob type, like a Grade
