Error description

• Set up a project with a property called 'envNames' on one of
  the project-environment properties (make sure it is NOT on the
  'ALL' tab), and give it values 'one,two,three'.  Then, create
  originating workflow/job/build/etc.  Create a scripted-select
  property on a secondary workflow, and use the following for the
  script:
  
  String valueStr = PropertyLookup.getValue("envNames");
  String[] values = valueStr.split(",");
  return values;
  
  When attempting to run this secondary workflow on a buildlife,
  this correctly populates the Select property with valid
  choices.  Unfortunately, after clicking 'Run' a
  NullPointerException will appear:
  
  java.security.PrivilegedActionException:
