Parsing variables in link question

[Boofo]

I get this when I do that:

{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&userid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1

That is the same exact code I have in the options setting. It does the same thing if I use $vbulletin->options.

If I do it like this in the template, then it parses fine.

<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&userid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1" target="_blank">{vb:raw vboptions.boofo_additional_link_5_title}</a></li>

It just doesn't like going from the setting to the variable in the template for some reason.
