"Object Browser" Table Query "Drill Up" Fails with ORA-00942

Question

I feel I have tested this capability in an earlier release of apex and it worked flawlessly... :)
but currently it is not. :(
It seems to be a problem with [ APP_ID=4500 Page=46 ].
To Duplicate the error...
Note: This example assumes "Sample Application" is loaded to the workspace.01) Logon as an APEX developer.
02) Click on "SQL Workshop"...
03) Click on "Object Browser"...
04) Click on table "DEMO_ORDERS"...
05) Click on "Data" [ between "Table" and "Indexes" ]...
06) Click on "Query" [ below "Table" ]...
07) Select "Show" in "Drill Up and "Drill Down Links"...
08) Select "Check All"...
09) Click the "Query" button...
10) Once the result is displayed...
Click on the demo_customers in the first "Drill Up" column.
...after the click in "step 10" above...
the following error will be return.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Current Table/View: DEMO_CUSTOMERS
4500_46_RET_TO_QUERY
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Drill Up" or "Drill Down" both fail with this message.
I am currently running apex version 3.2.0.00.27 and also confirmed that the error occurs in the current apex demo website... which is currently at version 3.2.1.00.11.
Thanks in advance... :)

I think you misunderstood.
I call the apps API from custom code.
It runs the API with no issue. It fails when it tries to access the HR table. So APPS cannot access HR.
Are you saying I need to modify APPS code?? That is not likely. Are you saying I need to create a public synonym for an HR table for APPS? That seems unlikely also...OK, looks like there is a typo in your first post and the object name is IRC_ASSIGNMENT_STATUSES.
From eTRM, I see the following:
TABLE: HR.IRC_ASSIGNMENT_STATUSES
http://etrm.oracle.com/pls/et1211d9/etrm_pnav.show_object?c_name=IRC_ASSIGNMENT_STATUSES&c_owner=HR&c_type=TABLE
APPS.IRC_ASSIGNMENT_STATUSES
http://etrm.oracle.com/pls/et1211d9/etrm_pnav.show_object?c_name=IRC_ASSIGNMENT_STATUSES&c_owner=APPS&c_type=SYNONYM
So, this indicates that apps user should be able access this table without a prefix.
SQL> show user
USER is "APPS"
SQL> desc IRC_ASSIGNMENT_STATUSES
