Quick caveat ... l'm having trouble building at present. Each time I make a 
change I must start the build process with ./autogen or octave seg-faults. So 
while I think I have a solution, I'm hesitate to push.

I any event, does this diff fix the problem for you? This essentially changes 
the papertype property checks form "custom" to "<custom>" for David's recent 
changeset.
