I was looking at the change history and ES5-discuss archives earlier today and couldn't find anything definitive on this specific point. This happen as part of the larger task of formalizing environment records, variable/function instantiations, and the correct lexical scoping of with statements and catch clauses. I suspect we just missed identifying this very special case as it is the only situation in non-extended ES where a FunctionDeclaration can actually be instantiated within an inner scope. The good news is that the FF/Safari behavior is a better match to what we want for ES6 inner scope FunctionDeclarations.
