SyncVar hook firing, but value passed is null

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class PrefabScript : NetworkBehaviour {

	[SyncVar(hook="MakeTheChange")]
	public Material material; 

	public Material newMaterial;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	
	}

	void MakeTheChange(Material value) {
		GetComponent<MeshRenderer> ().material = value;
	}
}

In the debugger, I can see MakeTheChange being called but value is alway null. Is there a limitation on what types can be synced? Any idea why value is null?

In case someone stumbles upon it - yes you can only syncvar the primitive types or Struct if you need a more complicated object. It is not clear from the documentation, alas
