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.
