OK, here's a better translation.

This function works great:

test[[1]]

*BUT* 

If you go to >Palettes>Basic Math Input and use the part specification from
there, and then you save the whole notebook as a Package[], and then you
call that Package[] with Needs[], you get an error message.

Is this text easier to follow? Sorry the last round was obtuse.

This, unfortunately, is only slightly less obscure than the original
post.  But if you say it 4 time quickly it leads to ammusing results!

Best, :-)
