Portal.Publications.Review is being passed as an expression in your
first example, not a string. You cannot pass expressions in string
variables in DTML. To resolve objects given a path use:

<dtml-with expr="REQUEST.resolve_url('/Portal/Publication/Review')">

You could also pass a variable here as in:

<dtml-with expr="REQUEST.resolve_url(location)">
