First, it is not surprising that

does not work. It is illegal: what is that "hidden" doing there?

That said, there is something bizarre going on here.

The Stata 12 Programming Manual does have a section on "Using hidden and historical saved results." As far as I can tell, the above syntax isn't legal. But I believe this would be, in case it is what was really intended:

ereturn hidden scalar ui = sqrt(r(Var))
