Follow-up Comment #1:

I will close this as "Not a bug" and merely document that only simple variable
names should be used in braces.

Reasons:
1) Translators are (in general) not programmers. You alienate them if you
present them programming language expressions; even if all they have to do is
to copy or preserve sich expressions.
2) A code refactoring (e.g. rename method 'toUpperCase()' to 'toUpper()')
would change the string in the POT file, thus cause work to the translators.
