Name of affected component: Measurement Protocol

Issue summary:
Enhanced e-commerce transactions using the measurement protocol aren't 
processed when a userId is present.

Steps to reproduce issue:
1. Send POST data to https://www.google-analytics.com/collect as decribed here: 
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/devguid
e?hl=nl#enhancedecom
2. The event is processed, the transaction is not.
3. When removing the uid from the POST-data and sending it again, the 
transaction will be processed and becomes visible in Google Analytics.

Expected output:
The transaction visible in both the user-ID property and the global property. 

Actual results:
Only the event becomes visible when a userId is present.

Notes:
We both activated enhanced e-commerce and userID. In all other cases, hits with 
a userId (events, pageviews, ...) are processed like it should be. Accept for 
transactions.

We use PHP to do the task:

send(array(
    'v' => '1',
    'tid'   => 'UA-2759391-3',
    'cid'   => '2011248066.1366974771',
    'uid'   => 'ABAE123',
    'dh'    => 'superstock.be',
    't' => 'event',
    'ea'    => 'purchase',
    'ec'    => 'ecommerce',
    'el'    => 'purchase was made',
    'dp'    => '/purchase',

    'ti'    => '12',
    'tr'    => 2000,
    'ts'    => 10,
    'tt'    => 418,
    'cu'    => 'EUR',

    'pa'    => 'purchase',
    'pr1id' => '99',
    'pr1nm' => 'With User AND Payload AND Pageview',
    'pr1pr' => 199,
    'pr1qt' => 1
));

send with curl where the above array is the payload: 
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS  => utf8_encode(http_build_query($payload))

it appears we are getting this bug also, on our iOS app that was tracking GA 
correctly until we implemented the UserID tracking. We followed the docs and 
set up a UserID view, but nothing seems to track anymore. Verbose shows all the 
metrics being correctly sent, but nothing shows up on Dashboards.

We have implemented the user id on our test environment but are'nt getting any 
data in our user id property, not even visitor tracking. Just to be clear: 
tracking works on the global property and we have implemented the tracking code 
according to google instructions.

Er, I stand corrected (deleted old comment), t=transaction with uid seems to 
work (just took a while to make it through).

This issue has been fixed. It could take approximately 4 weeks for data and 
reports to be corrected, during which you might see some data in user id views 
change. Also, during this time, we advise you not to change the User ID flag 
setting on your Properties or Views.
