I would lean toward the explicit ptr to Core.  This occurs in the context 
of a spec (Automation) where other (non-deferred) dialogs that create 
Automation Requests expect the client to take different (additional) 
actions in the case of a successful create - search for a corresponding 
Result, and look *at that* for blah blah.  Those additional actions, if 
mistakenly applied to a deferred dialog's output, would lead to a client 
hang (no Result ever appears, or if it's bundled with the Request it never 
changes into 'finished' state).

But I can live with either the explicit ptr or silence.
