Resharper-unity: Can't inspect variables outside scope of the currently debugging class

Using Unity 5.6.3p3 with Rider 2017.3

As the screenshot shows, any variable I try to inspect that is outside of the current class the debugger is suspended on just shows, {<namespace>}SomeOtherClass.VariableName. Clicking the + plus icon does not further evaluate the variable.

I've also attached the relevant lines from the DebuggerWorker log:

Searching for any reported related issues, I've only stumbled across the issue regarding debugging variables in coroutines, but this issue occurs in normal methods (as well as coroutines).
