Sitefinity 6.2 Custom subscriber field null

Hello,

The release notes mentioned that the PITS issue where custom subscriber fields in an email were no longer returning blank values is fixed

www.telerik.com/.../pits.aspx

However, we cannot get this to work, they continue to return blanks.

The fields are in the database (sf_subscriber), are populated, however when adding to an email with  |Subscriber.fieldname|  returns a blank in the resulting email.  We've double checked the spelling of the field and case sensitivity, but no luck.

thx
