The idf snippet shown above is using calling point AfterPredictorAfterHVACManagers. The "Managers" in this calling point name are the setpoint managers and availability managers, so this is before the HVAC systems and electric power manager have been simulated. Using the "detailed" reporting frequency shows how the values lag by one system timestep.
The only calling point that will work is EndOfSystemTimestepBeforeHVACReporting. This sets the EMS variable after the electric power manager has been simulated, but before the output variables and meters are accumulated during HVACReporting. One might also think that an EndOfZoneTimestep* calling point would work, but that is not the case since the new EMS output variable has been specified as a system timestep variable.
These comments were also added to issue 7563.
