Is this sort of thing a bug?

All stacks in Rev, whether sub or main, can only have one in memory at 
any given time with the same name.  So effectively, stack names act as 
IDs in that they are a unique identifier.

Given this, you should be able to simply refer to the long name of the 
substack without needing to explicitly include its mainstack:

   put the long name of stack "revSaving" into tStackObject
