Having two outlines open in JAPI?

Question

Am I missing something here in this code? It seems if you try to open 2 outlines at the same time, internally both IEssCubeOutline objects point to the same object.
This is the output:
otl2 refers to: interNtl
Fourth dimension of otl2 refers to: Market
First member of second dimension of otl2 refers to:East
otl1 refers to: basic
Fourth dimension of otl1 refers to: Market
First member of second dimension of otl1 refers to:East
But the first child of the Market dimension in the interNtl cube is US, not East.
The goal here is to create a dimension syncing routine. I've looked it over and over, seems clean. API bug?
This is the relevant code:
String server1name = "x.y.z";
String server2name = "x.y.z";
String app1name = "sample";
String app2name = "sample";
String db1name = "basic";
String db2name = "interNtl";
server1 = domain.getOlapServer(server1name);
server2 = domain.getOlapServer(server2name);
server1.connect();
server2.connect();
IEssOlapApplication app1 = server1.getApplication(app1name);
IEssOlapApplication app2 = server2.getApplication(app2name);
IEssCube db1 = app1.getCube(db1name);
IEssCube db2 = app2.getCube(db2name);
// read only
otl1 = db1.openOutline();
boolean readOnly = false;
boolean lock = true;
boolean keepTrans = true;
otl2 = db2.openOutline(readOnly, lock, keepTrans);
System.out.println("otl2 refers to: " + otl2.getParent().getName());
IEssDimension dimension = (IEssDimension)otl2.getDimensions().getAt(3);
System.out.println("Fourth dimension of otl2 refers to: " + dimension.getName());
IEssMember member = (IEssMember)dimension.getDimensionRootMember().getChildMembers(true).getAt(0);
System.out.println("First member of second dimension of otl2 refers to:" + member.getName());
System.out.println("otl1 refers to: " + otl1.getParent().getName());
dimension = (IEssDimension)otl1.getDimensions().getAt(3);
System.out.println("Fourth dimension of otl1 refers to: " + dimension.getName());
member = (IEssMember)dimension.getDimensionRootMember().getChildMembers(true).getAt(0);
System.out.println("First member of second dimension of otl1 refers to:" + member.getName());

I replicated your issue. Have you reported it to tech support?
As a workaround, perhaps you could open the outline, build a tree structure of some kind in Java for the first outline, then close it, open the second outline and process based on the tree structure in memory.
