In my case, I was passing in the recid of the target record as an integer.  This is correct, no?  I understand what you mean that it is not really a recid, but just the numeric representation.  I have no problem with that, I was just caught short on the sudden change.  I used the casting just as I cast all the other fields, but I never gave much thought to using the field as an ObjectPtr.  

I'm just glad to know that this is not a bug or something hard to fix!  :-)
