Massimo, any ideas?

That's good to know.
You could try this (you'll need to import gluon.html):
{{=gluon.html._gURL(request).__name__}}
That's what the global URL should be.
I think you were saying that this works OK in the other apps, right? You could
stick similar logic into welcome, for comparison purposes, good vs bad. You
might have to delete the welcome/compiled directory.
By way of background, the URL logic was updated not all that long ago. Have a
look at html._gURL, and then compileapp.build_environment() to see how it's
being used. URL is being replaced by the closure (I think it's a closure)
_gURL(request), so the value of request gets bound to the URL call, without
having to supply it all the time.
Also, a single argument to the original URL is treated as the application,
whereas the closure treats it as the function. We see the former in the syntax
error print below, more evidence that we're not invoking the closure.
