Something similar when user-created functions are in the message.

put time() into theTime; put theTime  —WORKS time() is a built-in function.

Now put this in the stack script:
	function richard
	   return time()
	end richard

In the message box:

put richard()  — WORKS

put richard() into theTime; put theTime  — DOES NOT WORK richard() is not a built-in function.

This may be somewhat related to your example in that getting binaryDecode() also populates the variable tHex.
