Views Fusion not compatible with imagefield filter? (or maybe imagefield altogether)

I think this can be taken a little further. I think that Fusion is not compatible with the imagefield period. I'm no expert but it looks like image field is the only one that is stored by fid and not value??

I have a filter that merges a view of a "Image" content type that has an image field with usernode. I had a user profile (using nodeprofile) fused to the usernode and it worked fine. Now I just have the Image-type node fused and I get this:

I looked at this:

mysql> select * from views_fusion;
+-----+------+-------------------+
| vid | mvid | uses              |
+-----+------+-------------------+
|  25 |   26 | nodefamily_parent | 
|  27 |   34 | nodefamily_parent | 
+-----+------+-------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Where vid:27 is my usernode and vid:34 is my Image-type node.

Then this table:

mysql> select * from view_tablefield where vid in ( 25,26, 27,34);
+-----+-----------------------+-------------------+-------+-----------------------------------+----------+-------------+---------------------------+----------+
| vid | tablename             | field             | label | handler                           | sortable | defaultsort | options                   | position |

+-----+-----------------------+-------------------+-------+-----------------------------------+----------+-------------+---------------------------+----------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

The only difference I see between the one working and the one not working is that the field column is field_image_fid instead of field_name_value. Maybe that's the issue?

In my merged view, the only field presented is the image field but I am filtering on Node type and Taxonomy term.

EUREKA!

While this issue still seems like undesirable behavior, the obvious (obvious now) solution is to merge INTO the node with the image field. And it works. I now have a content type with a single imagefield field that has usernode fused in and then user profile is fused into usernode. Ahhh. Sweet Drupally goodness.

I take it back: no "eureka" because with the image view on the left side, I can't display the fused view the way I want. The image view has to be on the right and that just doesn't work. I'm going to open a new issue as a bug.
