Your error backtrace suggests you used edebug-eval, but this output
suggests you used describe-variable.  The latter will not work in
emacs-26 because parse-time.el switched to lexical-binding, so that
predicate's symbol-value is no longer affected.

As mentioned in my other message, edebug-eval from within the let BODY
should work regardless, and I don't think there is a bug here, so I'm
closing this report.
