What's wrong with PHx?

I have some problem with PHx (2.1.2). I use chunk which contains a Ditto call inside followed by plcaeholder [+totalpages+]. The chunk looks like:
```
[!Ditto? ......parameters..... !]
Total pages: [+totalpages+]
```
Everything was OK untill I’ve installed PHx. After that placeholder [+totalpages+] become empty. And after I switched off PHx all placeholders became work again. I tried to use other Ditto placeholders, but it seems to me, that PHx ’eats’ them all. Am I doing something wrong? How can I preserve my placeholders from being erased by PHx?
PHx is very comfortable in use and I don’t want to uninstall it... Any suggestions?

I’ve found that PHx cleans some placeholders... here’s a piece of it’s code:

// clean up unused placeholders that have modifiers attached (MODx can't clean them)
preg_match_all('~\[(\+|\*|\()([^:\+\[\]]+)([^\[\]]*?)(\1|\))\]~s', $template, $matches);
if ($matches[0]) {
     $template = str_replace($matches[0], '', $template);
     $this->Log("Cleaning unsolved tags: \n" . implode("\n",$matches[2]) );
}

I haven’t much time to get a load of what’s it for, but when I removed this piece of code no more placeholders was erased by PHx and everything seems to be ok.
