Manage runner broken for 'alived' and 'no_alived' when called from a Master of Masters

[shorawitz]

Description of Issue/Question

When using the "manage" runner on a normal master | syndic, the "alived" and "not_alived" functions return a list of minions as expected. When run on a Master of Masters, they return the opposite list of minions as expected - offline minions show up using "alived", online minions show up using "not_alived".

Setup

order_masters: True

Multi-master as according to the docs.

.alived returns nothing. .not_alived returns all my minions (all are up)
