If the variable you want to pass is declared as a colour then everything
behaves as expected.  Taking into account other seemingly 'strange'
behaviour (eg. what happens when you specify checker colours without
commas, or try certain colour arithmetic) I don't think I'd classify
this as a bug.  Declaring a variable as a colour (using the color
prefix, or rgbft, etc.) also allows you to correctly access the filter
and transmit components using dot notation (although colours are not
supported by the #write function).
