At HTS_Process() in hts_engine.cpp

  /* parse label file */
  while (!feof(labfp)) {
     HTS_GetToken (labfp,buf);
     if (!isalnum(buf[0])) break;
     if (isdigit(buf[0]))

The above isalnum(buf[0]) checks whether the first character in each line is alphabet or digit.
isalnum('@')==0 -> hts_engine stops.
By commenting out this statement, you can use hts_engine with '@' and '@@' phonemes.
