MessageProbes are working for me.  (See example below.)

If you think there is a bug somehow, you'll need to write an example I
can compile and run, not a `blurb' with undefined degrees of
freedom...

import swarm.Globals;
import swarm.objectbase.SwarmObjectImpl;
import swarm.objectbase.MessageProbe;
import swarm.defobj.Zone;

public class TestMessageProbe extends SwarmObjectImpl {

    public double getXPos ()
    {
        return 2.5;
    }

    static void main (String args[]) {
        Globals.env.initSwarm ("TestMessageProbe", "address@hidden", 
                               "0.0",  args);
        TestMessageProbe testMessageProbe =
            new TestMessageProbe (Globals.env.globalZone);
        testMessageProbe.test ();
    }

    TestMessageProbe (Zone aZone) {
        super (aZone);
    }

    void test () {
        MessageProbe messageProbe = getProbeForMessage ("getXPos");

        System.out.println (messageProbe.doubleDynamicCallOn (this));
    }

}
