OK - so I took out all of my custom stuff and started with the examples in shared/classes/alfresco/extension. I moved example-model-context.xml.sample to example-model-context.xml and uncommented the my:sop stuff from web-client-config-custom.xml.

Everything but the my:imageClassification aspect fields show up as I would expect.

This is fine with me, I can just make my model contain the properties I need and not use aspects.

Should the my:imageClassification properties show up in Content Properties with the other example fields?

What you are trying to do should work fine in 3b. Have you actually added the aspect to the object? The properties of an aspect won't show up in the properties editor unless the content you are viewing actually has had the aspect applied. Check the node browser to confirm that the aspects are there for that object. If they are and your properties still don't show up double-check your web-client-config-custom.xml file.
