This is pretty obviously not the entire story, since you've never assigned
`t' the nameref attribute. If you run `declare -n t' after the unset,
you'll see that error, but your transcript doesn't show you doing that.
If you can show me a complete transcript I can tell you what's happening.
It may be that you've discovered a bug, but it's hard to say.
