So http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.2/condor_submit.html,
mentions the following (and so does
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.0/condor_submit.html):

+<attribute> = <value>
        A line which begins with a '+' (plus) character instructs
        condor_submit to insert the following attribute into the job
        ClassAd with the given value. 
        
Luckily using log files would get rid of this issue.
