Benoit--

Set works because it is translated directly into the dialplan;

queueMemberList=${QUEUE_MEMBER_LIST(queue)};

is translated into queueMemberList=$[${QUEUE_MEMBER_LIST(queue)}]
(note the $[] added), which is probably not what you want in this 
case, but would be fine if you wanted the RHS to be evaluated...

a = ${b} + ${c};

The voip-info wiki is a good resource here in explaining the
fine points: http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AEL2
