Begging to differ, e.g. this Auto-Report format tests various types of normal properties. It looks like only module level GPs are reportable (in addition to the special feature-level properties):  
`BasicName=$BasicName$ Obscured=$Obscured$ MapGP=$handSide$ CurrentZone=$CurrentZone$ CurrentMap=$CurrentMap$ ModuleVersion=$ModuleVersion$ ModuleGP=$activeSide$`

This results in the output for card moved on the map:

- BasicName= Obscured= MapGP= CurrentZone= CurrentMap= ModuleVersion=4.3.0a04 ModuleGP=Player 2

I recall it has been discussed before and I thought concluded that map movement auto-reports couldn’t see properties from the piece’s viewpoint.
