Re Tilman V.'s question about realization failure:

The most common problem is with lexical lookup. In particular, semantically null items must be indicated for lookup purposes, as must lexical items that introduce a semantic relation or feature but no lexical predicate. See the discussion of indexRel in grammars/lexicon.xsd.

Note also that the predications introduced by a lexical item must form a connected subgraph.

Another possible problem is with the chunking rules. Chunking must be relaxed for discontinuous constituents. You can try turning the chunking rules off to see if they an causing the problem.
