Actually, I wish to change this suggestion. invalidLocation is for *writing* to an invalid location during <assign>. In this case (and in test 343) we want to READ from an invalid location for param. As such I would recommend instead conf:invalidParamLocation for both tests.

(In my very permissive data model, I am able to create an invalid location for <assign> by using a system variable, e.g. starting with underscore. This is valid for reading, however, and so I need another, different technique to simulate this.)
