Canvas and Instancing

Hi,
I have an issue where I am rendering canvases with a beauty pass. However, anything instanced comes out black, with no textures. Turning alpha on will make these objects 100% alpha.
I noticed that none of these instances will turn up in the node list when trying to select this.
Rendering without canvas will render everything
Is this expected behavior? How do I make canvases with instances?

I use canvases a lot and have used instances to reduce memory requirements for the scene without (major) issues.
When you're setting up the Beauty Pass, are you selecting a node list? Or just letting the Beauty Pass render everything in the scene?
