Atze,
The documentation for expressionForFunction: makes a point of stating:

Which would indicate that there is some way to make this work. I agree that
speed would be a problem, but I could address that by adding a bounds check
into the expression.
At this point, it's becoming academic, because I know that I can solve the
problem with a bounds check, and post process - but I'd very much like to
understand why this isn't working.
