Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version 3.5.0.beta0
Platform: Ubuntu 13.04 x64

As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well.

NOTE: Noel - I have no clue what should be returned by formularesulttype and the documentation isn't terribly helpful - I tested with a number, a =1 and then with the document provided and it basically always shows 1. Documentation says it should return a long so, not sure if this is a bug or behaving as expected but I can confirm the behavior so marking as NEW

Marking as:

New (confirmed)
Normal
Medium
