I was using 5.54 when I noticed the problem so installed 5.55 when I
saw a reference to master/detail problems being fixed. It appears to
me that not only is there no *need* to provide MasterDataPipeline
settings, it seems that you should NOT provide them since it does
indeed impact the processing of the report.

5.5 has been a real pain! I've spent a lot of time swearing under my
breath at DM for introducing such major changes in a minor release.
Be sure you leave yourself plenty of time for testing if you intend to
upgrade.
