Is this really a bug ?
According to the online help and the list of STANDARD extensions in Form Builder, there are two versions of run_product (according to the online help, paramlist_id is of type VARCHAR2, which is wrong of course):

PROCEDURE RUN_PRODUCT (product NUMBER, module VARCHAR2, commmode NUMBER,
   execmode NUMBER, location NUMBER, paramlist_id PARAMLIST, display VARCHAR2);

and

PROCEDURE RUN_PRODUCT (product NUMBER, module VARCHAR2, commmode NUMBER,
   execmode NUMBER, location NUMBER, paramlist_name VARCHAR2, display VARCHAR2);

So when you specify NULL as parameter value for paramlist_name/paramlist_id, Forms does not know which one to take.
If you call RUN_PRODUCT in the following way, it works:

RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'a_module', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, paramlist_name => NULL);

it works !
