[Developers] consistency in reverse properties

[Ed Laurent]

You are right, something funky is going on here. My modeling habits, some
bugs we're trying to track down, and my propensity to model around bugs with
schema patches that I don't always revisit like I should, all probably have
something to do with it. I'm going to take a detailed look at some of my
latest schema this weekend and clean them up as best I can. However, there
are some foundational schema that I often use as included types (e.g.,
"Focal location", "Coordinated program") that are causing errors and we're
trying to figure out why. This issue you identified appears to be another
clue that might help us figure out what is going on.
