Context and variable exporting bad code

I created a feature whose info file looks like:

core = "6.x"
dependencies[] = "apachesolr"
dependencies[] = "apachesolr_search"
dependencies[] = "context"
description = "Apache Solr search brought to Atrium"
features[context][] = "atrium_apachesolr_search"
features[ctools][] = "context"
features[ctools][] = "variable"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_cron_limit"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_enabled_facets"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_facet_missing"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_failure"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_host"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_index_last"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_index_updated"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_last_optimize"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_mlt_blocks"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_path"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_port"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_read_only"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_rows"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_search_default_previous"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_search_make_default"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_search_spellcheck"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_search_taxonomy_links"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_search_taxonomy_previous"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_set_nodeapi_messages"
features[variable][] = "apachesolr_site_hash"
name = "Atrium Apachesolr Search"
package = "Atrium"
project = "atrium_apachesolr_search"
version = "6.x-1.0"

Upon enabling the feature or visiting the feature recreate page I would experience two parse errors:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/jskulski/public_html/project/sites/all/modules/contrib/features/features.export.inc(590) : eval()'d code on line 23

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/jskulski/public_html/project/sites/all/modules/contrib/features/features.export.inc(590) : eval()'d code on line 2</parse>

The export code for the respective code is 

<code>
  $export = array();
  $context = new stdClass;
  $context->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default context disabled initially */
  $context->api_version = 3;
  $context->name = 'project_apachesolr_search';
  $context->description = ''; 
  $context->tag = 'Apache Solr Search';
  $context->conditions = array(
    'path' => array(
      'values' => array(
        'search/apachesolr_search/*' => 'search/apachesolr_search/*',
      ),  
    ),  
  );  
  $context->reactions = array(
    'block' => array(
      'blocks' => array(
        'apachesolr-sort' => array(
          'module' => 'apachesolr',
          'delta' => 'sort',
          'region' => 'right',
          'weight' => 0,
        ),  
        'apachesolr_search-type' => array(
          'module' => 'apachesolr_search',
          'delta' => 'type',
          'region' => 'right',
          'weight' => 1,
        ),  
      ),  
    ),  
    'debug' => array(
      'debug' => 1,
    ),  
  );  

  $export['project_apachesolr_search'] = $context;
  return $export;

and

function _project_apachesolr_search_strongarm() {
  $export = array();
  $strongarm = new stdClass;
  $strongarm->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default strongarm disabled initially */
  $strongarm->api_version = 1;
  $strongarm->name = 'apachesolr_cron_limit';
  $strongarm->value = '50';
....

Which seems like it exports fine, but somehow fails to parse. I did a bit of digging and found when I var_dump $code from line 590 of features.export.inc

$cache[$module_name][$component] = isset($code[$default_hook]) ? eval($code[$default_hook]) : FALSE;

I find lines transformed from

$variable = new stdClass;

had been transformed to

$variable = new ;

which certainly would not parse, but I am not sure why the code is transformed.
