Better \startblockquote\relax
The \startblockquote command has a optional argument which is passed to
\startnarrower and
in your example [w] is used as the argument. This alone won’t be enough
for an error, the reason
why you get problems is that \startnarrower takes everything which isn’t
a valid keyword (left, right
or middle) as dimension for the margins but "w" isn’t a dimension and
generates the error.
