Oops! I hate to make silly mistakes like that in public. I looked at the
address clause for X and ignored X's definition.

That would be an address clause for X, if X were an object. Instead, you
need to say

V : X;
for V'Address use Blah;

This is what I did in the rest of my post, which I hope doesn't have any
more silly mistakes.

Sorry.
