RAXINV - Strange problem in Report Builder

Question

I'm having a very wierd problem in Report builder 6.0.8.27.0. I'm simply trying to add two additional columns to the AR Invoice report (RAXINV) so that they get included in the XML output. This report has a main query called Q_INVOICE which is basically a dummy query to set the column aliases and at the end of the query it does a UNION with the user parameter &common_query.
So, what I have done is gone into the common_query parameter and added the two extra dummy columns before the FROM statement (I've tried adding at different places but always the same result). Once that is done I've then gone into the Q_INVOICE query and added the same two columns. When I hit the OK button to update the query is when my problems start.
There is a group in the report called G_ORDER_BY that has the field ORDER_BY in it. After clicking ok to update the query the G_ORDER_BY now has a field called BILL_CUST_NAME1, but the XML tag is still saying ORDER_BY. This happens to many fields in the report (the names are changed/corrupted) and as such the report is now useless as it won't compile.
I have no idea why this would happen and I've never seen anything like this before.
Can anyone provide any help on this ? I've logged an SR on this too but wanted to try here also incase someone had already crossed this problem.

Dave,
Not sure if its relevant or not, but I just fixed this issue, you need to change your query in three places, common_query parameter, build_query program unit and the main query itself in report editor.
