This seems to be some sort of strange parser bug you've run into. The
escaping your trying doesn't work because it is reference escaping and
reference escaping is for escaping references, which $. is not.
You might also try
$#**#
to avoid a context lookup. Though, i haven't tried it, and who knows
what the parser will think of it.
