Ray: I recommend you make this accommodation.  The structure is valid by 
the NeXus Schema while it is obviously not written by the NAPI.  In my 
punx code (also in Python), this is done already.  Here's the punx 
(v0.1.8) analysis of 633777.nxs (validating with v3.2 of the NeXus 
definitions):

validation:
address		/entry1/default/ic1monitor at target
validation	attribute data type
status		NOTE
comment(s)	variable length string: 
['/entry1/instrument/ic1monitor/ic1monitor']

structure:
     default:NXdata
       @NX_class = NXdata
       ...
       ic1monitor --> /entry1/instrument/ic1monitor/ic1monitor
       ...

which points to

       ic1monitor:NXpositioner
         @NX_class = NXpositioner
         ic1monitor:NX_FLOAT64[10001] = [85.095857564276628, 
88.283059084044368, 91.494686406350723, '...', 0.1282179930326694]
           @local_name = ic1monitor.ic1monitor
           @signal = 1
           @target = /entry1/instrument/ic1monitor/ic1monitor
