It's not avoided -- $: represents the entire tacit verb (named 'u' in
this context).

What's avoided is $: representing the ,@cut verb. In this particular
case, that would not be a fatal problem, but in other examples
avoiding this issue would be important.

Try <1 :'u@cut' 'a b c'

and compare with

   <1 :'u@(cut f.) f.' 'a b c'

for a small example of this correctness issue.
