Strange behavior of `value'

Using the latest cvs Emacs, started with "emacs -Q",I get the
following odd behavior. If I type in (in *scratch*, say):

(setq val 5)
val

and C-xC-e after each line, then the C-xC-e after the `val' gives me a
5.  Similarly if I type M-: val.
However, if I type in

(setq value 5)
value

and C-xC-e after each line, then the C-xC-e after the `value' gives me a
nil instead of 5.  If I type M-: value, I get a (void-variable value)
error.
