I forgot there is meanwhile a work-around, at least for one direction: in the SPIN preferences of TBC, activate "Also generate sp:text representation of queries". Then, whenever you edit a SPIN query, the system will also create the textual form and attach it to the sp:Select/sp:Construct subject using sp:text. Then these strings will be stored in parsable form together with your model.
Does this cover your main use case, or will you soon need the other direction as well?
