Oops!
The compile I was using also incorporates my transform patch, which 
allows transform {...} blocks to be used in objects, instead of just 
"transform IDENTIFIER". The demo files use the new syntax, they began as 
test files for it. I am not surprised Nathan didn't catch it when he ran 
the files, since his compile probably also incorporates the transform 
patch...
Just change the files so "transform {IDENTIFIER}" is changed to 
"transform IDENTIFIER" and so the wrapping "transform {...}" is removed 
from statements of the "transform {rotate|translate|scale|matrix}" type.

In other words, change this:
transform {aDeclaredTransform}
to this:
transform aDeclaredTransform

and this:
transform {
    rotate < X, Y, Z>
    scale < X, Y, Z>
}
to this:
rotate < X, Y, Z>
scale < X, Y, Z>
