Done! For the record, I attached the final MethodMaker-derived code. Would you accept a small tip via PayPal (if so, what e-mail should I use)?

I'm going to see about submitting this for the MethodMaker maintainer.

package CustomMethodMaker;
use base ( 'Class::MethodMaker' );
use Carp;

=head2 grouped_fields_inherit

Works like grouped_fields, except that it also calls the parent class.

=cut
sub grouped_fields_inherit {
  my ($class, %args) = @_;
  my %methods;
  foreach (keys %args) {
    my @slots = @{$args{$_}};
    $class->get_set(@slots);
    
    my $method_name = $_;
    my $caller = $class->find_target_class();
    $methods{$_} = sub {
        my ( $self ) = @_;
        my @parent_slots = ();
        my $to_execute = "SUPER::$method_name";
        
        #
        # Without $caller and eval, the following line causes this err
+or:
        #
        #   Can't locate auto/CustomMethodMaker/SUPER/[METHOD].al in @
+INC
        #
        @parent_slots = eval "package $caller; return \$self->SUPER::$
+method_name(\@_); 1" or die $@;
        
        return ( @parent_slots, @slots );
    };
  }
  $class->install_methods(%methods);
}
