Maybe I'm reading the code wrong.
It looks to me like the FileSplit that gets used by a MapTaskRunner comes
from the instantiation of a FileSplit in MapTask.java, which 
deserializes it
from a stream. In the very least, if MapTasks stay Writable, then that code
is wrong.

You're right.  That code will have to be changed to use 
ObjectWritable.writeObject() and ObjectWritable.readObject(), so that 
the subclass name is written too.
