ok , well i believe any problems with the render tree attribute not getting passed over are more to do with the attribute not being stored. Like I said even though the attribute name is available from the cache, when connected to anything it produces a red node or an error about 'wrong type' or similar. This is where I would check first.
For render tree , Ive noticed that sometimes the attribute selection gets lost if its anything other than default 'color' and I always turn the default color value to a purple or red so then its easy enough to see that its reverting to default value when rendering because the data is not there. Some folks here have had a problem with passes changing and materials not updating correctly. and in the case the best thing is go to the pass in question, relook at the material and from color_attribute node reselect the correct attribute again. then do a render region. sometimes it takes a 'jiggle' to remind the softimage stack of what you set it to in the first place.
