I am not exactly sure if this is a bug, a feature or something that is
just undefined.

    (funcall (eval (eval '(let ((var)) (lambda ())))))

works fine, whereas

    (funcall (eval (eval '(let ((lex-var)) (lambda ())) t)))

does not work.

Backtrace:

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function closure)
      (closure ((lex-var) t) nil)
      eval((closure ((lex-var) t) nil))
      (funcall (eval (eval (quote (let ((lex-var)) (lambda nil))) t)))
      eval((funcall (eval (eval (quote (let ((lex-var)) (lambda nil))) t))))

I am on GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.24.10).

        Christopher
