This also happens when trying to run from Ptolemy:

# $PTII/bin/ptolemy -x "xxx" ptparamx.xml
Change failed: <property name="x" value="xxx"/>
ptolemy.kernel.util.IllegalActionException: Error evaluating expression: xxx
  in .paramx.x
Because:
The ID xxx is undefined.
-------------- and --------------
Error evaluating expression: x
  in .paramx.Constant.value
Because:
Error evaluating expression: xxx
  in .paramx.x
Because:
The ID xxx is undefined.

Looks like the value is not treated as a string, but the name of another
parameter. I could not figure out how to escape it. 

I'm attaching ptparamx.xml, which works in Ptolemy.
