FWIW, I think I can get away with moving this particular class definition into an agent bundle, but I'm still interested in finding out why it doesn't work in a common bundle.

I was doing this in a common bundle while yours is in an agent bundle. I seem to recall a similar problem to this but I don't remember the details. I changed mine to an agent bundle and it worked fine, but I'd like to do it in a common bundle for global access. Is this a technical limitation with how common bundles work?
