Variable Name Makes App Crash

Question

I have an embedded bitmap resource, one of many in my program, which is an AIR app.  There's nothing unusual about it; in fact, I can replace the file to be embedded with a blank white file of the same size, or another (working) bitmap from the same program, and get the following results.
Whether my app works or not depends on what I name the variable corresponding to the embedded resource (the :Class variable after the embed directive).  If I name it "sprBatteries", the app hangs at startup in the iPhone; the loading screen transitions into the stage background color, and shows none of the stage contents.  If I name it "sprDryCells", or even "sprBatteriesX", it works fine and displays the expected contents.
This works fine testing on my desktop, regardless of the variable name.  I suspect that it is encountering an exception on load, but it seems to be happening before FDB can connect, so I don't know what the problem could be. EDIT: Oh, and I believe that it works fine if I compile the app as a simple AS3/Flex app rather than as an AIR app.  I haven't done systematic testing to confirm this, though.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on and how I could fix it?

leotemp, that's a very smart(***) answer - but don't name
them
what? I read your earlier post of today: you might benefit
by looking at Aral Balkan's Quick Start about skinning the
components.
I have not seen anything in all the documentation about names
to avoid in naming files. If there are restrictions on this, it
would be nice to see a list of those names and the situations in
which the restrictions apply. I would think renaming the file is
not the first thing a programmer does when an unusual message shows
up in the Problems window in FB.
If anyone has something to say about this, please do so.
