It's because of [1: bfca19e475].  I think it should be possible to fix
by grouping the bindings put into 'loop-for-bindings', but meanwhile we
should revert that change, at least on the release branch.  It doesn't
revert automatically because there was meanwhile another change to use
'cl--push-clause-loop-body' instead of 'push' on the involved lines, but
after manual fixup your example works correctly.

By the way, while adding the test case I found an additional regression
involving loop termination by a 'var = ...' clause.  I'll open another
bug about it soon.
