I agree it is a bug.

C-c C-e calls `eval-buffer' which "ignores the current value of the
`lexical-binding' variable.  Instead it will heed any
-*- lexical-binding: t -*- settings in the buffer, and if there is no such
setting, the buffer will be evaluated without lexical binding."

Not good in this case.


Michael.
