Thanks closing then. Happy to re-open if we feel is necessary.

Hello:
I recently found that sometimes an argument of a function is
unexpectedly set to nil when the function is natively compiled.
A recipe to reproduce the behaviour is as follows.
```elisp
(defun test (&optional start)
"Test the values of START."
(message "start is %S" start)
(cond
((not (integer-or-marker-p start))
(message "entered first cond variant")
(setq start nil))
((and
(markerp start)
(not (equal (marker-buffer start) (current-buffer))))
(message "entered second cond variant")
(setq start nil)))
(message "start is %S" start))
(native-compile 'test)
(test 12)
```
When I evaluate the above forms in sequence, I got the following two
messages:
start is 12
start is nil
As can be seen from the above, no `cond` variants are triggered, so the
variable START should have the value 12, while it becomes nil at the
end.
Sorry if this example is not minimal: I found this behaviour in my
package, so copied the relevant parts here. I am not sure what a
minimal example would be.
Hope this report is helpful.
