The same behaviour manifests when I use Java code to set the variable, so
it's not due to the shell. My previous attempts at using wrap manifested as
setting the value to:
:3:one
instead of:
one
The issue was that I was wrapping only the value and not name=value. Once I
did this things worked out. Thanks Sharon.
