Right. VA| requires a string; you're feeding it a numeric value
("+1>" pokes a number into S/G 05). Compare the results
here:

XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]
{<}SV04,115{>}{<}SX05,{<}PV04{>}+1{>}{<}SX05,{<}IS05{>}{>}{<}
SX06,{<}VA|05{>}{>}[BC_]{<}PV05{>} | {<}PV06{>}{<}EI{>};*;[cr
|lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE
