Initial patch to un-hide the problem is over at https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/7153 . The patch itself should be okay, as it exposes DeserializationException to users, which are already dealing with that. With that, this boils down to:

This bug has been in progress for a while... is there any updates on it?

https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/8455/

Introduced ordering of deserialization of map.
This ensures that parent codec is used before child data are deserialized.
