That would be a Tiles issue. I assume, because the context is passed in as an 
object, that there are other scenarios with other frameworks that Tiles deals 
with by reflection on the implementation rather than the interface.

I was in touch with the Tiles guys and sent them a link to this thread, so maybe 
they'll comment.
