It's a bug.  For some reason I set up the (:attachlist:)
markup to occur after link processing, which unfortunately means
that any wikiwords or links in the attachlist are having
bad things happen to them.  In the particular case above, "XOver"
is acting like a wikiword and getting substituted with a Keep
marker ("13L") before (:attachlist:) gets it.

This will be fixed in the next release; the workaround for now
is to modify the line in uploads.php that reads

    Markup('attachlist', '<block',

to instead be

    Markup('attachlist', 'directives',


Thanks!
