Appears to be a bug with --tidy. The filename appears to be irrelevant.
I haven't researched why --tidy makes a difference. I plan to stop
this error by making @value non-expandable when writing to auxiliary
files. This would have the effect that the value used would be the
value at the time when the auxiliary file was read in, instead of when
it was written to, that's when @value worked at all. I think this
change would be okay, because this is already the case for @macro and
I doubt that many documents would rely on changing a @value in the
middle of the document.
