This may be a side-effect of using an accented character in the
variable name. I agree that you would want that to have no effect, but
it's the only detail you are giving that sounds in any sense unusual.
Try
set trace on
set tracedepth 1
before running this command and
set trace off
to tell us where the error occurs.
