>> Does the patch below help?

No, it doesn't because I see now that we already fixed this bug by
binding `lexical-binding` (just a bit further above).

The effect of `lexical-binding` is different from what you think.
It applies to the moment a sexp passes from being "data" to the moment
it is labeled as "code", not to the moment the code is executed
(otherwise we couldn't compile the code of functions ahead of time, not
knowing which value of `lexical-binding` would be active when the code
will be executed).

Indeed,
