Download BLOB breaks on using report column in Download Text?

StewStrykerNHMar 17 2021

We're moving to Apex 19.2 (finally) and I stumbled across this issue when implementing the newer Download BLOB report column in a Classic Report.
It seems that if I try to display value of one of the report columns as the Download Text (preceding with a colon), it changes the BLOB Attributes completely.
Help text for this column attribute says I can use page items. It's disconcerting enough that this doesn't work, but it's REALLY disconcerting when it breaks the definition completely.
If you walk through these three screenshots, you'll see what's happening.
I couldn't find reference to this in the Apex Known Issues for 19.2 or 20.2.
Am I doing something wrong, maybe I shouldn't expect to use report columns in that field?
Thanks,
Stew
