Couldn't see what you had in the pastebin as it just gives unknown id.
It seems that the variable passed through usebundle to the called bundle isn't
actually 'passed'. Instead the variable is expanded inside the called bundle,
like it would be set in the bundles own vars. So now the getfields is run
before the $(user) is defined.
As a workaround you can set a class to see that the $(user) is defined,
something like
"user_set" not => strcmp("$(user)","");
Then set that class as a dependency before running rest of the bundle.
Why it works on reports comes from the agent ordering, but in the example
bundle almost all magic happens in the vars alone.
I'd be interested to know too if the variable passing to the bundles works as
intended, or if this indeed is a bug?
