I hope my comment will reopen the issue.

I've tried to debug this and I think this never worked (at least with  
PHP 5.4):
* cli access creates the horde session with setup(start=false, ...).  
Thus session_start() will never be called, so there's no session and  
the $GLOBALS['session']->_data property is just a reference to a  
"normal" array.
* as there's no valid session, Horde/Core/Factory/SessionHandler.php  
will call session_start() (in the stub branch) which in turn will  
convert the reference into a normal array (I've no idea what php is  
doing here in it's internals). But I guess this is the reason for the  
additional assignment of $this->_data = &$_SESSION after calling  
session_start() in Horde_Session::_start(...).
* since the connection between $_SESSION and  
$GLOBALS['session']->_data is lost, all calls of  
$GLOBALS['session']->get(...) will be non sense and the function will  
return false
* this is working in hordes frontend because the other branch will be  
used ($new_sess = false)
