Lists from efl_global_slists will not work if you attempt to de-reference them. See https://dev.cfengine.com/issues/6866

Workarounds:

You must call the lists directly, or do not use efl_global_slists and build them directly in policy like this:

bundle common list_backup
{
  vars:
     "policy_servers" slist => { "${sys.policy_hub}" };
     "localhost"      slist => { "localhost" };
}
