Register features problem with oracle spatial

I have several annotation sub features that are not being recognized as point / text features by the register features process. They are not showing up in the 'select columns for angle and x/y scale' dialog and the angle and scale properties are showing up as discovered properties.

The oracle spatial index is type multipoint.

I do have other text subfeatures that are multipoint and they are working.

Also after the register features process one of the features types is changed from point-text to linestring/curve.

map version is SS4 8.11.9.625   oracle 11g2
