Yes, I do it all the time.

This fails for me too, but only if I keep the property name you 
assigned. If I change the property to "cY" it works as expected. I'm not 
sure why, but I'd guess the engine is using "y" for something. Since I 
always preface my custom properties with "c", I haven't run into this 
before, but I think you should probably bug-report it. It's an odd one.
