That seems probable. IBExpert seems to do some kind of client-side
pre-processing for its debug feature; and of course it prepares the
statement. On a prepare, the server would have returned SQLCode -206,
GDSCode 335544578 with the message "Column unknown", whether it was a
reference to a bad field name OR a bad variable name. It looks as though
the preprocessor in IBExpert doesn't go further to try to distinguish
which, and simply interprets the error as a bad variable.

Quod erat demonstrandum.
