The important difference is that the string $h_x-uidl is followed by
white space in the second case. Because RFC822 allows any printing
characters except : and white space in the name of a header line, you
*must* terminate header names either with : or with white space. In the
first example, Exim is reading the header name as X-UIDL} and then
complaining about a missing } I expect.

Perhaps I could try to make it give more information for this kind of
error. Noted.
