    DynamicNodeContext Descendants issue after upgrading to 6.2.5

    I upgraded our copy of 6.1.6 to 6.2.5 and nearly everything is working as it should. I have some content I pull for the home page like this:

    @{
  var amsUpdates = Model.Descendants("AMSUpdates").First();

  <div id="AMSUpdatesPanel" class="tab-pane">
    <h2>AMS Updates</h2>
    <div>
        @foreach (var item in amsUpdates.Descendants("AMSUpdate").Where("Visible").OrderBy("updateStartDateTime descending").Take(3))
        {

    That works correctly. I have almost the same exact code for my events and not one item is being returned:

    @{
  var barEvents = Model.Descendants("EventsCalendar").First();

  <div id="eventsPanel" class="tab-pane active">
    <div>
        @foreach (var item in barEvents.Descendants("Event").Where("Visible").OrderBy("eventStartDateTime").Take(5))
        {

    I've checked spelling, case, etc. and I cannot see a reason why the events won't display.

    After much hair pulling and banging my head on the desk, I tried to find the top level node by ID:

    var barEvents = @Model.NodeById("1969");

    Now, it all works. But, that does not correctly solve the problem, why can I not find the node like I used to with:

    var barEvents = Model.Descendants("EventsCalendar").First();

    The difference between the two clips above that I did not mention... The events are at level 2, one level under the home page, while the Updates parent node is at level 4.

    Well, I found this works. Is this the most correct/best way?

    var barEvents = @Model.EventsCalendar.First();
