MapValueGet - Returns what looks like a pointer instead of the value when called from a page

Question

Hi Folks, 
 I am trying to get some info onto a page and I am having an issues with MapValueGet - it seems to return the pointer to the information (or some other random number) rather than the actual value, but only when called directly from the page. If I wrap it or otherwise call it in cicode, I get the correct value back: 
 
 Has anyone seen anything like this? I am going to go with the workaround for the timebeing, but to my mind, it shouldn't be necessary. 
 Thoughts?

It looks like PlantSCADA is evaluating the expression as an integer value. Adding an empty string forces PlantSCADA to evaluate it as a string. 
 This is a good workaround, but I would open a support case if I were you because it sounds like a bug indeed.
