I will stipulate that the version for the file was not necessarily a match for the syntax. It was 2.14.0, your example was 2.12.0. Not my generator, so I don't know how that version was chosen other than current at the time. Obviously had I known that the syntax changed from 2.12, I wouldn't be here annoying you fine folks.
I completely forgot about this quirk in the language, so it was good that you brought it up. There are older snippets running around that use this pattern, so folks should be aware of the need to use convert-ly to bring things up-to-date. Also, it is yet another reason why the \version statement is so important.
In this case, the change [1] in syntax specifically happened with version 2.15.18 (between stable versions 2.14 and 2.16). Before that, the dollar sign had been a magic character for LilyPond's parser.
