commented assignment in export scanned by rreport

I'm just wondering if anyone else has run into this weird thing with export
that I just noticed.

filepro 5.0.08, rreport; SCO Unix

The following export and field assignments work as expected:

export word pall = (fn)
pall(1)=1
pall(2)=2
pall(3)=sc
pall(4)=rs

Output: "Jerry","2","EDB RET","44"

But when I comment out the last assignment, I still get output 
for the fourth field, and the output is always empty:

export word pall = (fn)
pall(1)=1
pall(2)=2
pall(3)=sc
'pall(4)=rs

Output: "Jerry","2","EDB RET",""

I had to delete the commented line to get the new expected output:

Output: "Jerry","2","EDB RET"

I saw that there were some fixes to export in 5.0.13 that might relate to
this although I did not see a reference to commenting, but only to variable
file naming.
