ORA-20001 in APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm getting a ORA-20001 error from within HTMLDB_ITEM when trying to invoke APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV. I'm running XE and ApEx 3.2.1.00.12. After getting the error in a report query I was doing, I figured I'd try to narrow the issue down. If I either do this:
SELECT   apex_item.select_list_from_lov(1, '1', 'FUNDLOV') FROM DUAL;or this:
BEGIN
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(apex_item.select_list_from_lov(1, '1', 'FUNDLOV'));
END;I get the following error message:
ORA-20001: Query must begin with SELECT or WITH
ORA-06512: at "APEX_030200.WWV_FLOW_ASSERT", line 283
ORA-06512: at "APEX_030200.WWV_FLOW_UTILITIES", line 6368
ORA-06512: at "APEX_030200.WWV_FLOW_ITEM", line 853
ORA-06512: at "APEX_030200.HTMLDB_ITEM", line 421
ORA-06512: at line 2
I get the same message whether I'm in ApEx's SQL Commands window or running it in Toad. I can invoke other APEX_ITEM functions like checkbox, text, etc. no problem.
My FUNDLOV query looks like this:
select DESCRIPTION display_value, RECORD_ID return_value
from CSBG_FUNDING_LEVEL
order by 1and it runs without any problem in ApEx or Toad so I don't believe the LOV query is the problem.
Any idea what the problem may be? Thanks!

Unless I'm doing something wrong, the ORA-20001 issue appears to be affecting APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV_XL as well - and I'm also seeing strange behavior in APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY.
Running this query:
SELECT description, record_id FROM csbg_funding_level;Returns:
DESCRIPTION.....RECORD_ID
Operated without CSBG.....1
1% - 24%.....2
25% - 49%.....3
50% - 74%.....4
75% - 100%.....5
Yet running this:
SELECT   apex_item.select_list_from_query(1, 1, 'SELECT description, record_id FROM csbg_funding_level', NULL, 'NO')
  FROM   DUAL;Returns:
<select name="f01" ><option value="1" selected="selected">1</option></select>Where are all of the option tags that ought to be getting rendered for the rows in the query results?
I could be wrong, but there appears to be some bugs in SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV, SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV_XL and SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY.
Any thoughts? Thanks,
John
