[Paraview] MultiBlock Dataset Naming Issues

I have my MultiBlockDataset reader working nicely now. I have a custom  
panel that contains a tree view and I can select various selections  
from the tree and have "something" rendered in the 3D view. Awesome.  
Now, the problems.

When I click on the "Information" tab to see the list of datasets that  
were actually read (The Heirarchy Table) the list is correct. But when  
I click on one of the data sets and then look at the "Data Arrays"  
table the name that appears has a " (partial)" appended to it. Where  
is that coming from and what does it mean?

  Also, when I view the data as a "Surface" and then select one of the  
listed Arrays to "Color By" the rendered view just stays a solid  
color. Actually it looks like as long as I select the top most array  
to color by in the list, after the "Solid" and "vtkCompositeIndex"  
selections then I will get a proper rendering.

  So for example, say I tell my reader to read the following 3 data  
sets: Phi1, Phi, Phi2. This will result is a MultiBlockDataset with 3  
blocks. The "Color By" drop down will have the following:

Solid
vtkCompositeIndex
phi1
phi
phi2

If I select "phi1" the rendering is correct. If I select "phi" or  
"phi2" then I just get a solid color surface rendering.

  Anyone seen anything like this or possibly know what is going on? I  
can supply all the source codes and experimental data if that is needed.
