Problem with 'offset' and 'numberposts' while using get_posts() ?

Loving the plugin and using it regularly. But just now a ran into a problem and I seem not to find the solution. Probably it’s very easy.

I wrote a function in functions.php that allows me to display connected staff on different pages. Sometimes I need to display all or only one connection and there will be an offset to display the first connection differently:

function show_connected_staff($offset, $numberposts) {
	// Find connected posts
	$args = array(
		'connected_type' => 'staff_to_pages',
		'connected_items' => get_queried_object(),
		'nopaging' => true,
		'suppress_filters' => true,
		'connected_query' => array(
			'offset' => $offset,
			'numberposts' => $numberposts,
		),
	);
	$persons = get_posts($args);
	// Display connected posts
	if ($persons) {
		foreach($persons as $person) {
			echo $person->post_title;
		} // end foreach
	} // end if
} // end show_connected_staff

Connections are set up properly, I can see all the data properly. Only problem is that the arguments are not passed to the function.

So calling <?php show_connected_staff(1, 1); ?> or <?php show_connected_staff(0, 999); ?> in my theme will always display all connected items regardless of value of the arguments.

Suggestions?
