vCloud 5.1 Plugin with vCO 5.5 + vCloud Director 5.5: Probable Incompatibility?

Hello,

I've found that when using the following combination that vCenter Orchestrator is unable to enumerate vCloud Director objects below the Organization vDC level:

vCloud 5.5
vCO 5.5
vCloud Director Plugin for vCO 5.1
Logging into system organization.

The following error is reported in the logs - I've underlined relevant sections. What appears to happen is that the following method: com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vcloud.VCloudEntityResolver.getEntityByReference is invoked, but fails with this exception: com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.reflection.ObjectAccessException: Invalid final field javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement.name. Is there a workaround currently available or a out-of-band release of the vCloud Director plugin that is compatible with 5.5?

Any help beyond "this is an unsupported configuration," and "a compatible plugin will be released later this year" would be appreciated, as we depend on vCO for our day-to-day provisioning operations.

Here's the full error stack if any developers happen to glance upon this post:
