Could that be it?
That's certainly what it seems like.

The problem with that is there's probably 50 apps that could define this UTI as well. Not only I would I have to import all of their UTIs, they'd have to import mine and everyone else's too. Otherwise there's always the chance that any one of our apps would be rendered useless by simply having any of the other apps on the system too.
If that's really how it works, then UTIs are really seriously stupidly broken in this kind of case, and I just can't believe that's true.
The only real option I see is to not use UTIs at all.
