Name of affected component: Core Reporting API

Name of related library and version, if applicable (e.g. Java, Python,
HTTP, Objective-C, etc.): /

Issue summary:
I'm using the API to create SEO reports easily for longer time spans. I noticed 
that when I use the gaid::-5 segment (non-paid search traffic), I get 
completely wrong results. I tried to run the query in the Query Explorer 
(http://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/explorer/?csw=1) and got the same wrong 
results there. I get the revenuePerTransaction-data out correctly, and every 
single segment on it works just fine, it's just the gaid::-5 that gives me a 
completely wrong result. It is correct in the Google Analytics Dashboard though.

Steps to reproduce issue:
1.
2.
3.

Expected output:
What do you expect to see after performing the above steps?

Actual results:
What do you actually see after performing the above steps?

Provide any additional information which might be useful here. Feel free to

described.

It got worse now.

Using the same gaid::-5, I get wrong errors for ga:visits as well when going 
down in the past. I tried to get the ga:visits (with segment gaid::-5) for 
November 2010. In the dashboard I get 6254 visits, in the API call I get 225 
visits!

And I got this answer in the Query Explorer 
(http://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/explorer/?csw=1) as well - not only in my 
program, so that's not me changing variables at the wrong time or something.

Are there any updates on this issue? 

I'm getting the same issue whereby the data from the API is incorrect when 
pulling "ga:transactionRevenue" when using "gaid::-5" (non-paid search traffic).

I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed in the past month...

I think the priority of this should be very high.. pulling wrong data with the 
API is a major issue! I am trying to build a webb application however I can 
rely on the data returned from the API this is ridiculous and it still hasnt 
been fixed

attention please!
