Aha, all right!

I have remember, yes I have fix this mistake.
 
Cursor cannot have field of type ObjectPtr or RecID.
Such types columns can exist only in Table.

So when you build cursor Valentina replace them on ULONG type.
Column which just keep ulong values.

In fact Valentina 1.x did work always in the same way.

So you need cast to VULong
