Nice shot this seems to be a CERTI fed parser bug.
The file structure seems Ok to me from what read from HLA specifications.
I did open a bug in the tracker
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?20727

I did add you to the carbon copy list of this bug on the tracker
such that you will automatically receive follow-up.

At first glance I do not see a workaround unless you may suppress
the "(parameter Time)"  from the TacticalBookmark interaction class:

  (class TacticalBookmark best_effort receive
     (parameter Time)
   (class BlueOnBlueDirect best_effort receive
     (parameter FiringPlatformID)
...
The buggy case seems to occur iff you define a parameter
with a subclass i.e.:

(class TacticalBookmark best_effort receive
   (class BlueOnBlueDirect best_effort receive
     (parameter FiringPlatformID)
...
should be parsed OK.

I cannot promise you any timeline for the correction of the bug
but we pleasefully accept patch :=)

I would say that fixing the .yy file should be enough but I did not tried (yet).
If you are willing to try to provide a patch for this,
don't hesitate to tell us.

Thank you for reporting this issue.
