I suspect it is not interpreting that variable because variable expansion is not implemented for that field. I suspect the original author did not consider variable expansion in handling that field.
I think that is a novel use of the field, asking it to compute changes since the last successful build. I'm more accustomed to that field being used to define a common branch against which diffs are performed.
