One addition. I've discovered that if I publicly declare a 2D array of 
the structure it shows "bad number of dimensions" and "out of bounds" 
errors when I double-click it after creation:

' Tile grid normal structure.
Public Struct Tile_Normals
   A As Single[]  ' Normal for quad subsurface A.
   B As Single[]  ' Normal for quad subsurface B.
End Struct
Public Normals[32, 32] As Struct Tile_Normals

Declaring it as a 1D array it behaves normally:

' Tile grid normal structure.
Public Struct Tile_Normals
   A As Single[]  ' Normal for quad subsurface A.
   B As Single[]  ' Normal for quad subsurface B.
End Struct
Public Normals[32] As Struct Tile_Normals

It also doesn't make any difference if I define the structure like this:

' Tile grid normal structure.
Public Struct Tile_Normals
   A[3] As Single  ' Normal for quad subsurface A.
   B[3] As Single  ' Normal for quad subsurface B.
End Struct

Maybe that's related to what's happening, or a separate issue?
