I agree as well. As far as I know, the js evaluator is top-down, so vars initialized in the global scope above the _IG_RegisterOnloadHandler would already be set.
I wonder if is just Firebug being a jackass. I've encountered weird behavior before. Besides the warnings, the code seems to work perfectly. Just want to be vigilant.
