Running 5.0.0.1063.  
See attached picture - the variable cannot be found, and generates the following error when run:

Error expanding Starting Folder : [Expression Error]: Variable\Object “PendingRoot” does not exist! [%PendingRoot‸%]

Notice the strange character just before the closing %.

Downgrading to 5.0.0.995 resolves the error.
