Found it:

In webdetails/kettle-baserver-utils, "kettle-baserver-utils/src/pt/webdetails/di/baserver/utils/SetSessionVariableMeta.java" 8708c1f.

The functions readRep and saveRep
use different labels for storing and retrieving the "field variable", namely "field_variable" and "field_variable_name" . This bug would only be notices if this step was run using a KTR stored in a repository.

On line 177"
variableName[ i ] = rep.getStepAttributeString( id_step, i, "field_variable" );

On line 193
rep.saveStepAttribute( id_transformation, id_step, i, "field_variable_name", variableName[ i ] );
