Embedpano vars parameter bugged?

Hello, I have a problem. I need to pass some settings via embedpano vars parameter. I am passing object as said in documentation.
For example, this is not working:

settings["view.hlookat"] = 30; embedpano({xml:"pano.xml", target:"pano", vars:settings});

It is working if I pass:

settings["autorotate.enabled"] = true;

Yes, I am doing exactly as it is written in documentation. The issue is that some parameters are working, some not. If I pass autorotate.enabled, that parameter is registered, but if I pass view.hlookat or view.fov, they are not registered - nothing changes. If I set view.fov after krpano is loaded, it is working. But I need to override fov and other view parameters when embedding tour.

<script>
function handleReady (krpano) {
  krpano.set("autorotate.enabled", true); // working only if not defined in params
  krpano.set("view.hlookat", 60); // not working
  setTimeout(function () {
    krpano.set("view.hlookat", 60); // working
  }, 1000);
}


var params = {};
params["autorotate.enabled"] = false; // working
params["view.hlookat"] = 60; // not working


embedpano({swf:"tour.swf", xml:"tour.xml", target:"pano", html5:"auto", mobilescale:1.0, passQueryParameters:true, vars: params, onready: handleReady});
</script>

I feel like this is unexpected behavior. Meaning - either documentation is unclear/wrong, or - there is a bug in krpano.

Oh, this makes sense. Thanks. Maybe adding a note to documentation about this is a good idea to prevent confusion. This line is the confusing one:

settings["view.hlookat"] = 30;

Expected that to work right away... without knowledge about KEEPVIEW it is hard to make sense of it.
