Correct, the error occours only for properties outside the /fdm/jsbsim domain. 
(see my original post). I don't see any reason for not putting them into an 
arbitrary location in the property tree - until it's defined as illegal ;-)
It currently does not work because of a "design flaw". I don't think it is a 
good idea to have two properties updated for the same purpose - the 
automatically created from the components name and one from the output 
element. 
And: <output> properties are not tied, so listeners do not get triggered on 
update.

Jon, just to confirm, properties with relative paths do not produce the error 
message. Your memory still serves you well ;-)

Oh - while typing this, I will try to name a component "../../some/name" 
instead of "/some/name" to check if this works...
