 Since some while it is possible to do use the name of a variable for

Yes: typically a restriction on a system such as a VECM will 
need two "subscripts" on the coefficients (although in the 
case you give, of a VECM with a single cointegrating relation, 
that happens not to apply). I guess we could support names in 
that context but it doesn't seem as "natural" as in the 
straightforward single-equation case.
