Hi Peter,
I wonder if your problem is the answer dialog.  Sometimes an answer
dialog causes Rev to forget the defaultstack.  Does your simple test
stack have an answer dialog?  Even if it does have an answer dialog,
that doesn't prove anything... the answer dialog could behave correctly
in the simple stack and misbehave in the complex stack.

Try putting this line after your answer dialog:
     set the defaultstack to "theNameOfYourStack"
