Just a stab in the dark here, and without knowledge about recent changes that could have caused your code to break (so this could be wildly off). The difference between the 2 versions AFAICT is whether m_isAnonymous is set or not, which leads me to the question: have you properly overridden createsAnonymousWrapper() in the parent?
