Okapi Tikal Bug?

Hey All,
    The Okapi Tikal program I'm try to validate seems to have have a bug 
when run against the Translate9xml.xml

Translate9xml.xml:
<doc>
   <its:rules xmlns:its="http://www.w3.org/2005/11/its" version="2.0">
     <its:param name="LCID">409</its:param>
     <its:translateRule selector="/doc" translate="no"/>
     <its:translateRule selector="//msg[@lcid=_*$LCID*_]" translate="yes"/>
   </its:rules>
   <msg lcid="409" num="1">Create a folder</msg>
   <msg lcid="411" num="1">??????????</msg>
   <msg lcid="407" num="1">Erstellen Sie einen Ordner</msg>
   <msg lcid="40c" num="1">Créer un dossier</msg>
</doc>

Okapi Error output:
Input: /var/www/converter/uploads/1c3927f182/testinput9xml.xml

	ERROR: resolveVariable for variable LCID returning null


We think the bug arises because Tikal can't escape/populate the $LCID 
variable correctly. Does anyone know who we should notify from Okapi?
Thanks,
Philip
