do you have non-internal indexes with a field named called user that would match the username of the user running this? the subsearch seems to work for me when I just look at internal logs.

Bit difficult to understand your requirement, but if you try this , is the first part of your need achieved?
index=_internal | join user type=inner
[| rest /services/authentication/current-context splunk_server=local | fields username | rename username as user |top user limit=1
| fields user]
