Ok. Strange one there.

Ok. I did think it might be [an anomaly in] .NET behaviour.

ANTLR provide the IASTFactory interface (and a default implementation in
ASTFactory) if you decide to handle AST node creation directly yourself
without using reflection (recommended for performance reasons).

Send me some code that demonstrates the behaviour with ANTLR and I'll look
into this again.
