I think I've figured out what is happening in my OP and hopefully this will help others.

SoapUI is trying to convert a key (apps) to an element name in XML, but the key starts with a number. This is valid JSON, but in XML an element name cannot start with number.

If it isn't "too much trouble" development might preface it with a "_" (legal in XML). Otherwise I guess I'll be getting more familiar with Groovy to transfer property values.
