Summary
In Apex test method using data silo (API version >= 24.0 or SeeAllData=true are used), SOQL queries on custom objects don't return User fields via the relationship name "Owner".
Repro
1) Create Apex test class that contains below test method:
//Don't use (SeeAllData=true) for version 24.0 and later
static testmethod void mytestmethod() {
Customobject__c co = new Customobject__c(Name='abctest', OwnerId = UserInfo.getUserId());
insert a;
List<Customobject__c> co_list = [SELECT id, Owner.ID, Owner.IsActive, Owner.Name FROM customobject__c WHERE id =:co.id];
system.Debug('\n### OUTPUT ##'+
'\n OUTPUT OWNER ISACTIVE : '+co_list[0].Owner.IsActive+
'\n OUTPUT OWNER ID : '+co_list[0].Owner.ID);
System.assertEquals(true, co_list[0].Owner.IsActive);
}
2) Run test class and check output in Developer Console:
### OUTPUT ##
WORK OWNER ISACTIVE : false
WORK OWNER ID : null
Workaround
If User fields are needed, run a separate SOQL query to retrieve them.
