I can imagine that this is frustrating. What kind of documentation could we
add to get that time down?

I'm quite sure that it is your custom widget in your case. It depends on the
structure of your composed widget but usually the custom widget uses child
controls which makes the custom widget the first non child control widget.

You can refine the appearance like this:

"programinfo/movements" : "list",
"programinfo/movements/pane" : "widget" // don't know if thats really needed

Does that work?
