BUG found when useing webService and Joint Data Set

Hopefully this will save someone some time.

I've found a bug in BIRT 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.

I have two datasets based off web service's. A 'vendor' data set and an 'invoice' data set. Which are joined to create a joint data set called ds_VendInvoice.
The invoice dataset takes some date parameters to restrict the number of rows I get back. If I hard code the parameters the invoice data set the joint data set works just as you would expect it to. I can preview records in the dataset, expand the dataset in the Data Explorer, and view the results within the actual report.
*Problem is: if I set even one dataset parameter in the invoice to a report parameterr I can no longer expand the dataset or drag it to the report.

Trying to make even one data set parameter dynamic blows up joint data sets. I have found this is resolved in 2.5 though.

Hopefully this will save you about 8 hours b/c that's roughly how long it took me to find it.
