Yep, I stepped down into the source to see where it executes the function...

Here's the fulltext function.

I'm referencing these fields in _views functions without a problem.

 "fulltext": {
      "by_description": {
      "defaults": 
      {
        "store": "yes"
      },
      "index": "function(doc)            
      { 
      if (doc['type:Description']['type:LocalizedString'].@value)            
      {                
        var ret=new Document();                 
        ret.add(doc['type:Description']['type:LocalizedString'].@value);                 
        return ret;          
      }            
      }"

The first thing I'd suspect is a Javascript syntax or runtime error in
your function (but, hey, I would say that, right?).

This stack trace is at the point where user-entered data hits the
runway, as it were, so it's not so unreasonable. Perhaps you could
paste your fulltext function?
