Could you give me some concrete (but simple) example?

Yes, I understand this part of the problem (and fixing it should
actually be easier than for `let` since in lexical-binding mode, all
lambda args are lexically scoped, regardless of special-variable-p).
[ Note: I haven't looked at your suggested patch, but I agree with your
problem&solution description so your patch is probably right. ]
