Looks like this has come about due to an issue in the new(ish) string interpolation feature in Corn, which I've logged here https://github.com/JakeStanger/corn/issues/21.

In the meantime, I've just pushed an update to master with a patched example.corn and an updated Corn build that will return more helpful errors, so you'll now get the input name it can't resolve.
