Custom list with content type item check-in throws "Value does not fall.." error

When checking in an item in a custom list, I was being presented with the following error:

Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldCollection.GetFieldByInternalName(String strName, Boolean bThrowException) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldCollection.GetFieldByInternalName(String strName) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.get_MissingRequiredFields() at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Checkin.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

After much head-scratching and nightmarish debugging, I found that the answer was very simple: Do not have the "Required" attribute set to true in your content type definition, but rather specify this in your custom list schema.

Hope this helps!

Well that's just insane, but it certainly solved my issue. You're a legend.
