Why does $job.resultCount$ not display on a dashboard as a token, but will if I assign it to another token? via /r/Splunk

When a search finishes, $job.resultCount$ holds the total rows/events returned.

If I assign that in a <done>...</done> clause thusly, I can display it on the dashboard using the token name assigned in the <done>...:

<done> <set token="counttoken">$job.resultCount$</set> </done> 

In a <title> tag, I can then reference the new eval'd token, and it'll sub-in the value:

<title>Total Returned Results - $counttoken$</title> 

But if I put the "raw" token on the dashboard, I don't see anything but the literal text of "$job.resultCount$":

<title>Total Returned Results - $job.resultCount$</title> 

What may be causing this behavior?

Splunk 8.0.4.1, if the version matters
