Sure, I understand that.  I didn't post it for the reasons you stated,
and I didn't mention the compiler because I didn't want to disparage
them (they are being responsive and helpful).  It turns out, thought,
that the problem was a bug in the debugger (it displayed T2 as the
wrong type).  The exception was cause by a different bug in the
compiler.  The two problems combined made it difficult the diagnose.
This was a bad coincidence; the compiler is normally very good.

Thanks to all for the comments.
