The reason of that behavior is double: 1) The geometry definition of many of the Synfig objects (layers) are just offsets from other parameter of the layer that is the origin so when you modify the origin of the layer the geometry definition doesn't change but it calculates the offsets relative to the origin and so then the shape is rendered on the right place. 2) Translation layer doesn't modify the values of the underlying layers. It just apply one offset to the resulting calculated points to render the shape.
When you export a value, it doesn't take account where it was exported from. It just turns out to be an independent value that belongs to the document, and not to any layer in particular. So if the translate layer doesn't modify the values of the geometry definition, then nobody is modifying the exported value node either. To produce the effect you want, you need to use the Transform Tool (that is the mouse icon tool) and effectively animate the geometry definition of one and other objects by displacing the points of its definition. That would effectively modify the offsets of the geometry definition and so it would modify as well any other value node that is connected to it (that's the case of the exported value node) I hope it helps.
