I had trouble parsing this.  Are you saying that the list of output fields should be the union of all fields which have a value somewhere (but excluding default fields which are uniformly blank)?

As it stands in 5.0, default fields don’t get pushed to symbols unless the symbol is edited.  At that point I’m not sure if they’re all pushed, or only those with values.
