Your workaround is correct as is as it should be as the PDAnnotationWidget is the visible representation of the field (there can be many PDAnnotationWidgets assigned to one field) but the fields value is stored with the field. Now if there is only one PDAnnotationWidget it's entries and the field entries ca be combined into one dictionary So that is why it might work in one case and doesn't in the other.
