I don't understand. Why not report it as a bug? Its not that the behavior is different from the old writer, it is that the behavior is not consistant in the new engine.

You don't need an FRX to repo it. In the Public Beta go to Report Wizard and create a report from Northwind with the Employee table and add the employeeid to the report. It will show **** as the employeeid in the detail band.
