The symbol I make in create_unamed_typesym has FOwner nil so calling TFPHashObject.ChangeOwner crashes. Did I not make the symbol correctly or do I need to do something before calling ChangeOwner?
Ah, you need to use ChangeOwnerAndName then and simply pass in the same 
name you used for the constructor (cause otherwise it tries to use the 
name that is currently stored in the list).
