Yeah, this failure mode sucks.  I'm guessing you don't have a VCHI node
in the DT?  Patch attached.

I haven't followed up on getting the DT documented so that it can be
merged, and it sounds like Michael has some plans for changing how VCHI
and VCHI's consumers get attached to each other so that it's not
DT-based anyway.
