Actually, the default deployment will have the exact same issue ... I'm 
right now wondering why the annotations work in your setup ... Do you 
deploy them with another task that is producing a Annotations type by 
any chance ?

Moreover, default deployments don't work in Roby (not an issue for 
Matthias, but an issue in general)
