Hmm, this looks very much as if the call
isIntern(tail(y), Transient)
doesn't work for some reason. It seems that the two "X" symbols are not
the same.
Strange that it works for 'Internal' symbols.

Again strange. It shouldn't matter how the symbol is used (globally or
bound locally).

Yes, "transient" is correct.
I suspect that the above effects are partially random. The reason must
have to do with the index tree handling in isIntern() and intern().
Perhaps again some alignment or pointer-tag problem?
Cheers,
