1) cope with the new MissingTypeBinding (so set parent to Object rather than proceeding with a missing one - the downstream infrastructure cant cope right now)

2) use raw form of binding for new parents otherwise the methodverifier15 triggers about a problem (previously methodverifier was used on <1.5 projects but not with e37)
