According to HFS page 512, para2, it says: "It(JspFragment) can contain template text, standard and custom actions, and EL expressions, but no scriptlets, declarations or scripting expressions."
It's funny because I made the example via the Netbeans wizard - which change suffix of the .jsp to .jspf. If I take the exact same code and put in a .jsp it works.
I ran into this issue too. The param value evaluated correctly in a jsp:include page if the jsp:include was a .jsp page. But if I used a .jspf page the EL did not evaluate.
The solution for me was to add tthe following to my DeploymentDescriptor. Note the url-pattern of *.jspf
