Nonlinear Functions of Unit Roots

Hi folks,
suppose we have
x(t)=b*x(t-1)+u(t), t=1,...T
where u(t) is an iid(0,1)-process. Consider
S=\sum_{i=1}^T g(x(t))*v(t)
where g(.) is a function and v(t) is another iid(0,1) process independent of u(t). For |b|<1 and plim ((sum_{i=1}^T g(x(t))^2)/T ) =q , we have
S/\sqrt(T) \to N(0,q^2).
What is if b=1, that is the unit root case? If g(z)=z, we have the usual superconsistency results based in Brownian Motions, i.e. mixed gaussian distributions. But if g(.) is an arbitrary function? I suppose that S standardized by an appropriate factor is further mixed gaussian. Can someone give me an answer or some literature for this problem?
Thank you in advance
