Sample startup demonstrating the problem:
FileStream stdout nextPutAll: '! is an exclamation mark'; flush.
which causes a SyntaxError whose content is:
FileStream stdout nextPutAll: Unmatched string quote ->' ---- This is probably caused by something thinking the startup script is in chunk format? ----
The bug is spectacularly annoying because you simply (*) cannot run a script headless without first verifying that it works headfully. And come on, the ! is in a _string_.

Yes,
CodeLoader >> installSourceFile:
does a #fileIn on your startup file, which means it does expect a chunk format. One solution would be to make sure your startup is in that format
(FileStream fileNamed: 'chunkedStartUp') nextChunkPut: 'FileStream stdout nextPutAll: ''! is an exclamation mark''; flush.'; flush; close
or if your raw startup is in a file already
(FileStream fileNamed: 'chunkedStartUp') nextChunkPut: (FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: 'rawStartup') contentsOfEntireFile; flush; close
