storage.GetAs("__name1__")
IOW, omit the usual "[...]" part. Am I missing something?

Yes.
The one confusing part could be that the view won't go away until
committed. All properties, including subviews, including therefore
also top-level views, stay around afetr a restructure, and only truly
vanish on commit (that makes it possible to re-structure, copy over,
then commit).
