Have you also specified --polymorphic-type RequestContainer or,
alternatively, --polymorphic-type-all?

You could verify that the object you have pushed retains its dynamic
type with dynamic_cast:

x.x1RequestMessage ().push_back (...);
dynamic_cast<ReportTaskIssueRequest&> (x.x1RequestMessage ().back ());

If this works as expected, then it's definitely something with the
configuration of the generated code (for example, missing
--polymorphic-type*).
