Ok, I have provided the simplest of examples, and cannot account for why this is so either, but that doesn't change the fact that it is so.
Probably, I am just got lucky in some way.. but this should be simple enough for someone to look at and see what is wrong immediately. After spending the entire day digging through API dox, source code, and examples, I am no closer to solving the problem.. because, when I applied this solution to my working code, it did not work.
