Bug in 2.0 RC2 wrt List<ComplexType>

I'm finding that I can't get Lists of complex objects to properly  
convert as I'd expect (List<String> works fine and is my current work- 
around). I swear this worked in 2.0 M2, but perhaps it never worked.  
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a  
solution:

    @RemoteMethod
    public long runTest(final String url, List<BrowserSetting>  
settings) {
        ....
    }

My args sent in from the JS side are:

["http://www.hostedqa.com";, [{operatingSystem: 1, browser: 2,  
screenSize: 3}]]

The error I get is when the second param is attempted to be  
converted. I traced through DWR's internals and I see that it finds a  
converter for BrowserSetting (BeanConverter). It then calls  
convertInbound() on BeanConverter, which goes in to  
BasicObjectConverter.convertInbound(), and immediately fails because  
the input param is not of the proper type.

Specifically, the input param is of type Array and has a value of  
"[...references...]", which is what an array should look like.  
Nowhere does CollectionConverter ever get called, and I can't figure  
out why. Clearly the second param is being identified as a type  
"Array", so I'm not sure what is going on.

Any help is appreciated.
