The problem was that AnnotationSet was trying to record invocation dependencies
implied by the addition of annotations or metadata to the set and store this
information in the collection containing the annotated item.  But this
collection is not defined when CollectionReader is importing metadata elements
from an input XML file because the class builds up a list of annotations to
apply to the next collection or data element and before actually encountering
that element in the input file.  Simply avoiding the recording of these
invocation dependencies when the collection is undefined fixes the problem;
because no invocation dependencies are implied by importing elements from an
input xml file anyway, this fix should not cause other problems.
