ANSWER:

We have found a small bug in this function. The status of the "SRCHALL" session parameter is not being properly checked, so the "position" parameter is being unconditionally validated when it should be ignored in certain cases [like this one]. The temporary fix is to pass in a valid value for the "position" parameter such that the data type matches what is expected based on the value of the "request" parameter.

This problem has been fixed along with some other glitches in the latest ehllapi extender release.
