Cannot retrieve cm:title from an avm node in freemarker (if persisted with actual type as MLText)

Using this webscript:

*********
testGetTitle();

function testGetTitle()

{ var uniquePath = args.uniquePath; model.avmNode = avm.lookupNode(uniquePath); }

**

<testing>
<name>${avmNode.properties["cm:name"]}</name>
<title>${avmNode.properties["cm:title"]}</title>
</testing>
***********

You will get this error:

500 Internal Error An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request. Wrapped Exception (with status template): Error during processing of the template 'Error on line 4, column 14 in foo/testing/foo.title.get.xml.ftl Expecting a string, date or number here, Expression avmNode.properties["cm:title"] is instead a freemarker.template.SimpleHash'. Please contact your system administrator. org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptException - Wrapped Exception (with status template): Error during processing of the template 'Error on line 4, column 14 in foo/testing/foo.title.get.xml.ftl Expecting a string, date or number here, Expression avmNode.properties["cm:title"] is instead a freemarker.template.SimpleHash'. Please contact your system administrator.

All works well if you remove the title reference and there is indeed a title property on this node.

This can be worked around by getting the title in the jscript first:

*************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<testing>
<name>${name}</name>
<title>${title}</title>
</testing>

**
testGetTitle();
function testGetTitle()

{ logger.log("path: " + args.uniquePath); var node = avm.lookupNode(args.uniquePath); logger.log("node name: " + node.name); logger.log("node title: " + node.properties.title); model.name = node.name; model.title = node.properties.title; }
