Now that I think about it, perhaps the reason ':bwipeout "%"' fails with
error E94 is because "%", with the double quotes, is passed to bwipeout
which understands % as a buffer name but not "%".
I think this explains the behavior. Thanks for the conversation!

Yes, your are right- the bwipeout command succeeds without the double

Given that, what feature of vim9script causes the error when double
quotes are used? In legacy vimscript, it doesn't matter if double
quotes are present or not. Perhaps this should be added to
vim9-differences documentation.
[...]
bwipeout "%"
There is a slight difference here. Remember that `"` is the comment
character in legacy Vim Script, so what Vim actually sees and runs is:
:bwipeout
On Vim9 Script, I think it sees the whole argument "%" and expands to
the current buffer name. So by coincidence it behaves the same, but just
because :bw will wipe the current buffer if no argument has been given.
Thanks,
Chris
