Open Social not supported in Rave as expected

I was testing two simple gadgets to fetch the owner/viewer in rave.

The two gadgets (Open Social version 0.8) are:
For Owner:
http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/117043626034258521516/OpenSocialTestVer-08ForOwner.xml

For Viewer:
http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/117043626034258521516/OpenSocialTestVer-08ForViewer.xml

Logic of both gadgets:
Will give an alert message stating whether the var viewer/owner is null or
not.
If not null, then it will display the name of the viewer/owner.
Otherwise will show nothing.

Works fine in iGoogle but in Rave displays nothing with the alert showing
Viewer/Owner is null.

(*While testing in iGoogle, when added for the first time the alert will
show "is null" as it will ask for your permission to fetch data. When you
click "yes", then you will see the alert again showing "is not null" and the
name will be displayed*)

Waiting for reply.

We have an open bug regarding this issue. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAVE-252 Can  you add your test gadgets to the ticket?  I am going to try and look at this this week.
