SYMPTOMS
When a message containing a multi-valued string array MAPI property is moved or copied from one information store database to another, the MAPI property values are not properly copied. If the message has a custom-form that relies on the data carried in the MAPI property, the form may be displayed with unexpected results.



CAUSE
The information store that is the source of the move is not properly handling empty array elements.
