Interesting bug. I imaging this is because the __P function reads the
jmeter property at the time the test is run. When you specify the "-r"
option, that means the test is being sent to a remote server and then
run, but the remote server knows nothing about the jmeter property
values on the client machine. At run time, __P is evaluated, no such
property is found, and the default is used.
If you could enter it into the bug database, that would be helpful.
