Thanks for the suggestions.  It helped lead me to what I think is the root of the problem. 

{{#gql "privateUserStats" variables=(hash id=user.id)}}

However, when we query the user collection directly, ID are returned like "user:12345" not simply "12345".  I attempted to use the "concat" helper in the handlebars query to prepend "user:" to the variable value, but Khoros threw an exception:

Exception while fetching data (/component/render) : com.github.jknack.handlebars.HandlebarsException: privateUserStats:1:115: could not find helper: 'concat'

Any ideas on how I can prepend "user:" to the variable before sending to the graphQL query?

Try this

{{#gql "privateUserStats" variables=(hash id=(join "user:" user.id ""))}}
