Rose RealTime is what is of interest to me, and, from the horse's
mouth at the Rational booth at the Software Technology Conference last
week in Salt Lake City, it doesn't generate code automatically in Ada
- just (C? C++? I forget, but definitely not Ada.)

And Rational is supposedly _heavily_ into Ada.  And their tool doesn't
do RT Ada?  Not a good sign.
