I saw this for a while but like you was never able to come up with a
recipe so never Bugzilla'ed it. I will say, however, that the problem
arose at the same time that I created a really wierd infinite recursion
through a preOpenStack handler in a main stack which did a time delayed
call to another handler which opened a different stack which did not
have a preOpenStack handler so the main stack's preOpenStack handler
got called, etc. etc. etc. When I got rid of the recursion, my
property inspector worked again too although I can't begin to explain
why the recursion would cause the behavior I saw in the inspector.
