I think there's clearly a bug.  It might be in JDE, tho.

My understanding is that your code is only an optimization (or sometimes
pessimization, but hopefully less often ;-), so unless there's a race
condition or some tight timing constraints, it should not affect
the result.  It might be OK to bind it to nil for optimization purposes
(when you know your process will generate large chunks of data anyway, for
example), but not for correctness purposes.
