I interpreted the error, which cited the class itself and not anything in my code that 
uses the class, to mean that the auto-generation was not suppressed at all and in fact 
prevented it from being successful rather than silently being not generated.

It turns out that something in my code did want the assignment, so the class "did its job" 
but was totally unhelpful in telling me where in the code this was.
