This is a feature. With a few exception, keyword value is not parsed,
i.e., Org does not need to understand what happens in there.

That wouldn't make sense in most contexts.

I think Org Ref can parse the value of the keyword (a string), instead.
There is, for example, `org-element-parse-secondary-string'.
