Just in case some newbie has the same question like I had, here is the answer:

The formula is of course correct!

I just did not understand correctly what the newvar, produced by -tssmooth exponential-, was.
It is the predicted values of the time series at hand and NOT the smoothed series!

Referring to the notation of the Time Series Manual, newvar = S_{t-1}. Where S denotes the smoothed series.

Best,
Oliver
