The issue I describe is specifically using RPi.GPIO in Board mode. I too use the sparkfun T, and so typically go with BCM, but at the time I was doing ihis with what I was doing, board numbering was much easier.
I just tested again, few lines of python to simply set up some pins via RPi.GPIO, and anything assigning a valid GPIO mode with a (board) pin number greater than 26 tells me "channel sent is invalid". Switch to BCM mode, same physical pins, works fine.
Need to do a bit more digging into it and either find the error of my ways, or confirm as a bug.
