If it helps, I've been setting up a little testbed to give me more
diagnostics for this problem. I tried adding the "-D" (debug) flag to
the command line, and I've compared the output when I have "Dummy" and
when I don't.
When I have Dummy, I see this (relevant excerpts):

If you examine the differences, it's clear that without "Dummy", it
doesn't generate SomethingItemPropertyListInfo, assuming that
"SomethingPropertyInfo[]" will be used in its place.
With this additional information (which mostly just confirms what I
thought was happening), is there a straightforward way to get around
this?
If I move to generating code with Castor, will I be able to solve this
problem, hopefully without creating more problems?
