setParameter() does not work when using transformation chaining

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't parameters can be used this way.

The identity transformer is used to perform a copy of the source to the result.
Since it is a copy, parameters would not be applied. (The parameters are put
into a hashtable so they can be retrieved if the user decides to use
getParameter()). So in this case, it would copy the output of the filter to the
result.

The transformation itself is being done by the filter, so if anything, we should
be setting the parameter from there. However, there isn't a way for us to do
that, so I'm not quite sure how we can produce the effect you are looking for.

But as it stands, I think the identity transformer is doing what it is supposed to.
