It's supposed to be safe; the behavior in this example is definitely a bug.
The `#%variable-reference` form used to work only on top-level and module variables. It seems that I forgot to fill in some pieces when I made `#%variable-reference` work on local bindings (several years ago, mainly for use with `variable-reference-constant?` in the expansion of certain keyword-function forms). Thanks for the report!
