Evaluating

(cl-loop with list = '(1 2 3 4)

	 for l in list
	 for x = l and y = l

	 collect x)

yields (1 1 2 3) but it should yield (1 2 3 4).

It's the `and' that's triggering this bug, I guess?

I seem to vaguely recall Mattias doing something about these corner
cases -- I may totally misremember, but I've added him to the CCs
anyway; perhaps he has a comment.

Were you thinking of 8e3868125c? That was only an optimisation for the non-parallel case, and shouldn't affect this problem.

Past work on this particular feature was done in bug#29799 and bug#40727; this bug might actually be a dup of bug#6583 (?). Better ask those who did the work at the time.

I probably just misremembered altogether...

Ah, yes, this looks like a duplicate of 6583, so I'll merge the two.

Thanks for notifying me anyway -- the problem seems to stem from a confusion between iteration stepping vs materialising the variable value. It's a mess and I'm probably not the right man to fix it (no fan of cl-loop in general).
