That's really tricky bug. I wasted around hour or two to find out what is wrong.

Basically, you can download the hold and see, that when adding _MyATK (=5) to aa (=0) we get 1.
How?

Well, to reproduce it create one variable, let's call it X, and set it to 0. Then set _MyATK to 5. After that, write such code:
Set var X + 1
Then double click this code, and change 1 into _MyATK. Playtest and you will see, that X will be 1, not 5.
So to put it simply, Set Var command remembers former constant if there was any, and uses it instead of the non-constant.

Sorry you wasted so much time working on this. Your conclusion is correct. I've fixed this in the next patch so the former numeric value isn't preserved "under the hood" when you change a script command to use an operand with a variable/expression.
