Ah, interesting. The full type is exported if there's a value type
that's instantiated:

static ClassList classListVar;  // as opposed to a pointer

<Class id="_84" name="List<Class*>" context="_1"
mangled="4ListIP5ClassE" demangled="List<Class*>"
location="f1:10" file="f1" line="10" artificial="1" size="8" align="8"
members="_164 _165 _166 _167 _168 " bases=""/>

I guess when the pointer was used the compiler figured it never had a
need to look up the full type info.
