It works on my Org version (8.2.7c from ELPA). After a bit of
digging I found that:

  - the "can't assign to hline relative reference" message was
    added by commit a2c71a6e359cb93aa652f65c666294fb2a3b5e1b
    dated Nov 5th, 2013

  - motivations for that patch have been discussed here:
    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/71562
 
  - so I think I suggested something undocumented/unsupported
    that can't be used anymore, sorry :(

  - I'd like to express it as a wish for the future: support for
    hline references ("@I") in the left side of the formula
    would be a great feature (and it already seemed to work
    in some special cases, like @address@hidden)
    
Kindest regards,
