    The general philosophy is that "readPropertyDirectly" should return
    whatever is currently stored in the object without altering it in any
    way. This is an "unwritten contract" of the DataObject. I don't think
    we should make an exception in this case. Rather we should see where it
    was called and add proper handling of this condition.
