I've finally got it working, one remaining issue: 

Is there any way to make optionalProperty backwards compatible with 
optionalBlock?  When I publish the update to this plugin I don't want 
people to have to reconfigure there jobs.  If not, is there any way to mark 
the plugin as not backwards compatible?


For anyone else struggling with this the answer is that an optionalProperty 
needs to have it's own class and config.jelly.

For me that meant:
1. the original optional block became <f:optionalProperty title="Wait Till 
Build Completed" field="waitTillBuildCompleted" />
2. a new class:

public class WaitTillCompleted extends 
AbstractDescribableImpl<WaitTillCompleted> {
 private final boolean printLogOnFailure;
 public boolean isPrintLogOnFailure() {
  return printLogOnFailure;
 }
 @DataBoundConstructor 
 public WaitTillCompleted(boolean printLogOnFailure) {
        this.printLogOnFailure = printLogOnFailure;
    }
    
    @Extension
    public static class DescriptorImpl extends 
Descriptor<WaitTillCompleted> {
        @Override
        public String getDisplayName() {
            return "";
        }
    }
}

3. A new config.jelly for the above class

<?jelly escape-by-default='true'?>
<j:jelly xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:st="jelly:stapler" 
xmlns:d="jelly:define" xmlns:l="/lib/layout" xmlns:t="/lib/hudson" 
xmlns:f="/lib/form">
    <f:entry title="Show BuildMaster Log on Failure" 
field="printLogOnFailure" >
      <f:checkbox default="false" />
    </f:entry>
</j:jelly> 

Cheers
  Andrew
