I have an object with two private variables. When I paste it into a different .cap, even a blank one, I get an error message: "Error in Private Variables! The selected object has 0 variables, but the selected instance has 2. Please report this bug to Scirra!"
(Then I can't edit the object; if I try, I get the same error message.)
Could be related to the way that objects lose behaviours when they're copied and pasted; maybe they lose private variables too?
Enclosed: both the game I pasted the object from, and a blank one with just the buggy object.

I get this same error when cutting-and-pasting an object that has zero private variables but it belongs to a family that has some private variables.
The steps to recreate:
1.) Create a sprite.
2.) Add the sprite to a family with private variables.
3.) copy/paste the sprite.
