This is not a bug. If the instance has at least one free (unbounded)
row, by default lpx_write_mps does not write the objective row assuming
that that free row is the objective row. In order to tell lpx_write_mps
to write the objective row in any case you should change the control
parameter LPX_K_MPSOBJ as follows:

   lpx_set_int_parm(lp, LPX_K_MPSOBJ, 1);

For more details please see the glpk reference manual.

That variable exists in the problem object, however, its column is
empty (as seen in mps file).
