That's because the environment doesn't use the RTTI for that magic, it uses
the compiled DCU which is essentially a snapshot of the compilers internal
state. It's also how the environment can extract nice stack traces from
applications that were compiled without full stack frames.

structure of DCUs over the various versions of Delphi but I think that's
more effort than it's worth.
If you want RTTI on records, your best bet would be to turn them into
classes and publish properties that match the fields of interest.
