count is a built-in function which is why the template tester highlights it as it does. Using function names as variables works, but I really don't recommend it. I don't remember if there are places where the formatter checks whether it is a function when used in the context of a variable. I also can't guarantee that the behavior won't change.
Real reserved words such as 'if' and 'for' cannot ever be used as variables.

As a sidenote, I finally realized that if I use enter on the composite column and open the editor directly without going through the "add column" dialog I don't have to restart Calibre.

I really never mentioned that?
I implemented that years ago to avoid the restart. Do note that this "edit cell" method still changes last_modified for every book.
I use F2 because I use enter to edit metadata.
