I don't have Delphi but TP/BP fails on this indeed (even when replacing
the Result references with the names of the respective functions as
required with TP/BP).

No idea why '+' should be different to '-' here, but I may have missed
something.

You can add {$X-} to the top (i.e. disable the so-called extended syntax
allowing to treat functions like procedures) and then it fails. However, I
think that it should fail on the plus sign in any case and I would suggest
filing a bug report.
