You didn't say which version.

I tried it on the current version and confirmed that "open 
circuit: internal node 6" message. 

The bug is that it reports internal node 6 rather than the name 
it corresponds to.  I know about that one.  It's on the list.  
In this case, it could be any node because they all are 
separated from ground by capacitors.  So, aside from the 
ambiguous internal node 6, the behavior is correct.

Named nodes work as they should, except that they are case 
sensitive.  Underscores are not a problem.

The problem in this circuit is that the out_ nodes really are 
"open" as seen by a DC analysis.  There is no DC path to 
ground.  You can suppress the warning with ".option nowarn", 
but I don't recommend it.  You can also suppress it by 
increasing the value of the option "gmin".

It might work better when you finish the circuit.

You didn't ask, but "basic" and "quiet" are implied when you 
redirect the output of a command.
