Correct.

Ah, yes. I had totally forgotten about that behavior. If VA$MO on an
Untitled file is 0, it takes on the filename of a file CAlled into
the same window. You can get around it minimalistically by GTing an
empty S/G into the file before CAlling. That's sufficient to set
VA$MO to 1. (You can dispense, BTW, with "BX es 0Q2 ", as Editor
clears Error Suppression internally when a program finishes.)
