[UIMA-5723] MARKTABLE fails to assign feature for single word entry in first CSV column

Description

When using Ruta's MARKTABLE action with a CSV file nl_law_names.csv like this

WAZ;WAZELF
Wet arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering zelfstandigen;WAZELF

and corresponding Ruta script containing these lines

WORDTABLE LawNameTable = 'nl_law_names.csv';
Document{->MARKTABLE(WetNaam, 1, LawNameTable, "WetIdentifier" = 2)};

it seems that the text WAZ is detected, but the WetIdentifier feature of the resulting annotation is not filled by the string following the semicolon. Instead, it remains empty.

(Note: WetNaam annotation is defined elsewhere via type system description)

In contrast, the fully written name Wet arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering zelfstandigen is detected and processed as expected with feature WetIdentifier = WAZELF after annnotating.

Could it be that problems arise when only a single word (i.e. no spaces or uppercase letters following lowercase chars) is present in the first column in the CSV file? Or is it a matter of configuration?

We experimented also with the optional arguments of MARKTABLE regarding uppercase/lowercase distinction, but to no avail.
