@Place is a source of neverending fun.

For the coordinates when there's a space between the amount and the 
unit, lout apparently generates invalid postscript code.

--- cut ---

@SysInclude { doc }
@Document
@PageOrientation { Portrait }
@Text @Begin

@Place x{left + 5.9cm} y{top - 6.2cm} {
I'm visible
}

@Place x{left + 4.9cm} y{top - 7.2 cm} {
I'm not!
}

@End @Text

--- cut ---

The generated output looks like this:

LoutPageDict begin matr setmatrix left 5.9cm add top 6.2cm sub translate 
end gsave

vs.

LoutPageDict begin matr setmatrix left 4.9cm add top 7.2 sub cm 
translate end gsave

I don't have the slightest clue about postscript, but I guess attribute 
ordering is important for those commands ;)
