Projection issue with FeatureLayer (MODE_ONDEMAND)

I have an issue where I have my map in Kentucky Single Zone (projected coordinate system) - the base layers I am using are in KY Single Zone - and when I try to bring in a FeatureLayer using MODE_ONDEMAND, the points I am trying to display from the service do not display. I did a console.log on the featurelayer, and it is coming up (looking in Firebug). But looking at the graphics node in Firebug, the geometry for the points are in Decimal Degree Geographic coordinates (yet, strangely with wkid=3089 - which is projected KY Single Zone) - even though the fullextent property shown is correctly in KY Single Zone coordinates.  The service I am using for the FeatureLayer is in KY Single Zone and is a MapServer service. I also did some testing, and using a Decimal Degree map, the FeatureLayer points display as expected.

Now, if I change the FeatureLayer to MODE_SNAPSHOT - it works. Actually, MODE_SNAPSHOT works no matter what projection the service I am using for the FeatureLayer is in. So the FeatureLayer seems to appropriately project to the map - which I would expect.

I should say that the service I am using for this FeatureLayer is built from an table event theme using Decimal Degree x,y coordinates - but that shouldn't matter since the service is projected anyway?

I really need to use MODE_ONDEMAND because I'd like to limit the features I bring back by extents - and I also need to limit the number of features.

So here are my questions:
- why does MODE_ONDEMAND graphics only display in Decimal Degree despite my service being in KY Single Zone? This makes no sense. And MODE_SNAPSHOT works?
- anybody know any workarounds?
- is this an issue with 9.3.1 services - because that's the version of ArcGIS Server I'm running right now (yeah, I know - upgrade. but I haven't had a chance - and there's nothing in the documentation that suggests this is an issue).

I am including the entire map service code below for the MODE_ONDEMAND - if you simply change it to MODE_SNAPSHOT, the points display. Thanks!

Okay, a little follow up on this. I think the issue may have to do with using event themes. To test, I converted the layer I was using from an event theme (it had an OBJECTID - it was an event theme from an SDE table) to a shapefile. And both MODE_ONDEMAND and MODE_SELECTION work with this layer. So, begs the question - why the issue with event themes? Makes no sense to me.

I really need to use event themes since a lot of our data are stored in SQL tables - makes it very easy if I can just port from those tables to ArcGIS Server.

thanks,

This sounds like it's probably a bug...contact support?
