Ah-ha!  Yep - I did have this problem, and it was a Description field.
And I know what the solution is.

A standard Plone Description field does not use the usual
'getDescription()' function as an accessor, instead it (and the title
field) use description() and title() respectively.  To fix your problem
in the UML, set an 'accessor' tagged value on your Description field,
with a value of 'description' (you can do this for title too).

You don't need to code the accessor function - it'll Just Work (tm).

No need to go subclassing stuff, and you don't need to rely on secondary
products being installed.

Hope this helps,

Chris.
