Indication Filter Association to Indication Subscription Missing

We are running into an issue dealing with associations and indications.  My guess is that it is something we are doing wrong, but we can't figure out what that might be.

We have some tests on our provider that act as clients.  One of those tests is trying to create and verify the existence of an subscription.  Here are the steps:

1. We create our own IndicationFilter, which is a subclass of CIM_IndicationFilter in our own namespace
2. We create an event handler (CIM_ListenerDestinationCIMXML)
3. We create a CIM_IndicationSubscription with that event handler and indication filter
4. We then query for association names on the filter where the association class is an indication subscription.
5. We verify that an association exists.

This works fine.  But, when I change step 1 to directly create a CIM_IndicationFilter instead of our subclass, we don't get any associations back in step 5.  

Some other notes:

1) Even without the association being present, we are still getting indications.
2) The created filter for CIM_IndicationFilter has more fields filled out, while our sub-classed version does not:
CIM_IndicationFilter: //127.0.0.1/root/netapp/santricity:CIM_IndicationFilter.CreationClassName="CIM_IndicationFilter",Name="TemporaryPoolNameChange",SystemCreationClassName="CIM_ComputerSystem",SystemName="WICC01P01-00057.ved.eng.netapp.com"

NETAPP_IndicationFilter: //127.0.0.1/root/netapp/santricity:NETAPP_IndicationFilter.CreationClassName="",Name="TemporaryPoolNameChange",SystemCreationClassName="",SystemName=""

Thanks for any help.
