The problem is that we mean different things by 'work'.  To me, that means it behaves the way NuVoc says it does.  I get the feeling that to you, 'works' means it behaves the way you want it to.

It works, by my meaning.  The Dictionary is not precise about the behavior of $: in explicit definitions.

Yes, if you want to explicitly reference the definition of f, you
should use the name f (like you used at first), and not $:

$: refers to the containing sentence, which in your example was
    x $: <: y

To have $: mean something different you need to use it in a different
sentence (which is entirely possible, of course).

Thanks,
