Something is screwed up. I cannot replicate your exact bug on Windows 7 using 1.4.0-gc3c044. I could try installing the version you have, but it is misbehaving and crashing for me.
I am attaching test2.sav, which is a tiny dataset where I added the two variables you have and added some junk data. I ran your code without a crash by opening that file as syntax and run > all. No crash at that point, but when I looked at the data, it was (badly) corrupted. And when I tried to save the corrupted data, psppire crashed.
