Comment 1 for bug 1240892

I have reproduced it. The embedded stack name and id in my system are:
test_embedded_stack-s-x5liqpxcuomy and 622a6f68-669d-4516-93dc-7e72a058ea0b

heat resource-list test_embedded_stack-s-x5liqpxcuomy explained stack not found.
heat resource-list 622a6f68-669d-4516-93dc-7e72a058ea0b works:
+---------------+---------------------+-----------------+----------------------+
| resource_name | resource_type | resource_status | updated_time |
+---------------+---------------------+-----------------+----------------------+
| CfnUser | AWS::IAM::User | CREATE_COMPLETE | 2013-12-11T02:51:17Z |

| e | AWS::EC2::Instance | CREATE_COMPLETE | 2013-12-11T02:51:39Z |

I tried cfn-get-metadata also.
