It doesn't leak information in any way that is a problem, but rather the variable is still in scope.
Variables from roles are available in other roles, but always guaranteed to be used WITHIN that role. Thus if you set in one role X, "a: 42" and another role Y, "a: 44" ansible is so written that role X always gets 42 and tasks in role Y always get 44. They won't clobber one another. Having one role being able to define variables for another is however important, for instance, a role might define presensce in a particular datacenter and define a server address used in other roles.
