Is string case perhaps causing a problem above?


May I suggest:

Note the debug statement that will help you to understand what is going
on better. I have found Jade's evaluations of expressions to be very
stable and I believe it to be highly "distinct" from the behaviour of
back-ends. Thus I would be very surprised to see an expression language
bug actually influencing back-end behaviour in any but the most obvious
way.
