What I had tried to do was pass in the address of a pointer from the UI to the AU code
Please don't - AUs are generally designed so that the view code and the processing code can live in separate address space or even on separate machines, and exchanging pointers between UI and core breaks this design.
Consider an environment like Logic Nodes where the audio processing can be distributed to remote machines for utilizing additional CPU resources, while the UI is working on the main machine - there's no way to exchange pointers there.
(Logic Nodes are currently limited to Logics built-in plug-ins, but there's a strong user demand to open up this technology for AUs as well.)

To exemplify that point, MacFOH handles its audio in a root daemon process that is controlled by a separate GUI app, thus the engine can't even "see" the app in the global bootstrap namespace, and the GUI app(s) might in fact be running on a different host... yes, multiple GUI's controlling the same engine.
