It may be a bug ("less than useful design choice"), or you might need to bind to something else, or you might find it necessary to bind or not bind one or more of the alternate bindings, or you might need to go ahead and used the passed proxy as a string anyway, as was already suggested.

I think my point was that there's no real win with bindings in this case. If you need to make multiple bindings to get the popup to work, and you have to write code to supply the supplementary arrays these bindings use, then you've saved nothing.
However, I don't want to discourage you from figuring it out, if you have a few hours to waste. :)
As Kyle said, we can't really help unless you tell us *exactly* what the bindings are.
