I think Rik's point was that it turns out to be a corner case and may
not be worth fixing versus working around. Not that it was supposed to
be obvious to not do in the first place :)

Well... if you think that "sticking a knife in one's side" is a metaphor for "corner case"... perhaps ;-)

My opinion is that this seemingly unimportant problem might indicate some deeper issue with eval / function / clear.

I have tried to isolate what test does and filed a bug report: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46350.
