Ok, I've managed to reproduce it in a new project- apparently it only  
occurs when I'm using a shadow build directory. If I let the build run  
in the main directory, it works with the aforementioned caveat of  
having to restart QtCreator before it picks up the changes. However,  
if I set a "Shadow build", nothing I do seems to pick up the new  
ui_NAME.h files, and yes, there is a yellow underline on that include  
line. Interestingly, if I copy the ui_* files out of the build  
directory into the main directory and restart QtCreator, or if I  
prefix the ui_*.h in the include line with <shadow_build_directory>/,  
it works. So it looks like the parser is looking for the ui_* files in  
the same directory as the rest of the source files, even with "shadow  
build" selected.
