Yeah, it's a bug.
This describes the problem, which also occurs if FileVault is in use on
a local account:

I know it doesn't describe the exact situation you have, but I ran into
what you ran into a while back and asked the page's author if he
thought I was seeing the same problem. We think it's just another case
of the same bug.
You can get the file references to work if you mount the user's home
folder as a volume. It seems to be the only way. Otherwise, I think
we're SOL for the moment.
