I agree.

So I was not surprised seeing Ladislav's results. If one uses a
dynamic context, things are different:
>> g: func [x] [use [y] [y: :x 'y]]
>> a: g 4
== y
>> b: g 5
== y
>> get a
== 4
>> get b
== 5
But:
>> recycle
>> get b
***CRASH***
A workaround:
>> hidden-contexts: make list! 0
== make list! []
>> g: func [x] [insert tail hidden-contexts make object! [y: :x (x: 'y)] x]
>> a: g 4
== y
>> b: g 5
== y
