If you omit the ^ it works just fine.

I'm not sure if this is to be considered a bug. Compiler>>evaluate: 
compiles that code into a temporary method, executes this method, and
returns the result. At the time you send #value to the resulting block the
method context doesn't exist anymore, so you can't return from it either.
