Thanks for catching this bug.  Turns out that I had a nice static
variable, that got overwritten because I reused the name without
noticing.  I have attached a patch that fixes this.

You are correct.  In fact, a big chunk of the work for iterators will
get reused in anonymous methods (the remapping of parameters and local
variables in a method to be fields on a proxy class).

It is relatively simple to implement, but the spec for that new part of
the language has not been finished.
