Comment:

 Hi all,
 Thank you for taking the time to explain.

 On $user_info->user_login I was getting

 {{{
 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in..
 }}}

 and then when I var_dumped and saw what I saw, I thought that was the
 reason.  However on digging deeper I realised the call was in a loop
 however I was only getting the notice once . IE there was a data problem
 which resulted in the code having a userid for a user that was not there!

 So anyway I learnt something - one cannot always trust a var_dump! (and to
 add more checks in the code!)

 I have made a note in the Codex in case anyone else manages to confuse
 themselves.
