No, it's not the same error. It "seems" to work in the sense that there 
are neither warnings nor errors, but if I print the contents, they are 
truncated because it is supposed that the size of each member must be 
the same, but it uses the size of the first one always.

Example: if I receive an AAY which contains two sequences with different 
size, like [[8,45,7,32],[10, 56,8,9,234,22,45,45,23,8,10]], the array 
will have two rows (which is fine), but the first one will contain the 
first 5 (yes, one more than the size of the first sequence) numbers of 
the second sequence, plus an "odd character" that is like an "V" in 
UTF-8, and the second one contains the 5 next numbers of the second 
sequence (and the same "odd character"), and the first sequence will be 
completely lost.

Anyway, using:

    [DBus (signature = "aay")]
    public abstract Variant Property { owned get; }

works fine, so, at least, there is a workaround.
