Syntax error with double quotes

[thekid]

The following produces a syntax error:

$ xp -w '"Hello World"'

Exception lang.Error (
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) 
or ${ (T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES) or {$ (T_CURLY_OPEN) in 
D:\...\tools\src\main\php\xp\runtime\Dump.class.php(51) : eval()'d code on line 1

The command line arguments passed to xp.exe are -w and "Hello World", the error occurs during escaping them before forking the PHP runtime, which is passed the following: ... xp.runtime.Dump "-w" """"Hello World"""", which in turns comes out as [ '-w', '"Hello', 'World"' ] inside PHP.
