Your workaround is a valid one since MR is doing that under the hood anyway.
Don’t know if much can be done at this point;
However, it’s imo it’s rare to use deformers on nurbs.
I’ll check if it’s logged.

The long extruded element may already be generated as a whole piece,
and then is 'masked' off.
Would definitely be easier if it were patch/nurbs based.

Just equals expression a null to follow all 3 pos axis of the hip.
Now replace the posy expression and just put "5" (let say) in the expression
editor for the nulls posy.
Constrain the cam/effector to that null.
Now you can use CnsComp.

Having the constraint switch is the easy part.
The tough part is having the two pivots react to each other as if the selected
one is always the parent.
aka: 'dynamic parenting'
This page comes to mind:
http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/ice---interactive-creative-environment/ice-dy
Even if you cut the interest, it looks like the camera uses an imaginary
interest to reorient itself (when u hit 'f' for instance) and behaves the same
as a cam with interest.
I think what is needed is an option like 'interest follows camera'.
However, this can be a nightmare if you are doing ca

Be sure you don't use 'offset' in the MB settings or the wheels or they may
look like they are coming out of the wheel wells.
Check the transforms on your 'centers' on the wheels and a

Maybe it would be nice if XSI asked to localize all of them when some are
