Thanks to everybody for clearing up my confusion. The thing I had missed in the spec was Section 10.4.2. And of course, my example was too simplistic because it couldn't distinguish caller and global context.
At the risk of reviving old discussions, are there any sources explaining the rationale behind the current design? The "obvious" solution to me would have been having two internal variants/modes of (or "entry points" to) the eval function, one strict, one non-strict. And depending on the lexical strict mode, the identifier "eval" would be bound to the right one.
