not sure if I have fully understood the problem. When I run your example then I get:
eedjsa@server68:~/apl-1.8/src$ wslib1/arg_parser_script.apl -- --first=Bill --third=Daly
DUMPED 2022-08-02 11:27:51 (GMT+2)

NEW )COPY_ONCE workspace: 1 lex
)COPY lex (file /home/eedjsa/apl-1.8/src/wslib1/lex) failed: No such file or directory
This workspaces test the arg_parser workspace. Function test_one sets
up a parser object that expects arguments for --first --second and
--third and will dispaly the values of those arguments on the command
line.
The command line must contain an argument '--' which acts as a
delimter between the command line arguments passed to apl and those
passed to this script. So a test run might be:
arg_parser_script -- --first=last --third=first
VALUE ERROR
ap∆init[2] ao←lex∆init

Seems to me like somn workspaces are missing.

I've enclosed two workspaces. arg_parser.apl is a library to parse command line arguments. arg_parser_script.apl is a workspace to test that workspace. To run the test, place both files in ~/wslib1, chmod 775 wslib1/arg_parser_script.apl and then execute wslib1/arg_parser_script.apl -- --first=Bill --third=Daly .
I tried moving the -- from the command line to line one of the script with this result
dalyw@verdun:~$ wslib1/arg_parser_script.apl --first=Bill --third=Daly
