Not specifically. But the default object conversion is the source of *many* problems. It is a quick way to display data, but that is about all. I don't see how, even theoretically, that a single algorithm could handle any arbitrary XML input and produce a reliable, predicatable object tree. And dynamic objects can have poor access performance, and the object tree does not provide e4x expressions for manipulation. Ease of use is its only benefit.
I steer folks away from it any chance I get.

I'm guessing this has got to be some sort of parsing error in the WebService classes attempts to marshal the results as objects.

The default is "object", which converts your soap xml into a tree of dynamic objects, and this has some issues. Change it to e4x, which will preserve the xml, to see if the behavior changes.
