Apparently some genes still require misc_feature support. They are identifiable from current ncbi.txinfo.gz files by having no exons.

The solution is to 1) modify eutils to fetch misc_features and 2) modify sbin/ncbi-fetch to try for exons first, then misc_features.

example: PECAM1

Killing this idea -- misc_features are used for lots of non-exonic features (unsurprisingly) that will just create noise in the exons. If we find transcripts that need exons, we'll have to generate txinfo files manually.
