At the risk of repeating myself, again, you just need to be aware of how it works, that's all. Whatever Rev thing is running retains the globals declared within it until it is closed.
This convention was established in 1987 by the inventors of the root dialect, HyperTalk. Given its longevity and consistent implementation among all xTalk dialects, it isn't likely to change.
If it's causing problems in a specific situation you'll likely get to a solutution faster and with less effort by looking at other ways of solving that problem than to expect Transcript to change this basic behavior of global variables.
As Chipp noted, one solution that's free is adopting naming conventions to minimize risk of overlapping names. Most of the books I've read on C, Pascal, and other languages encourage the use of a lower-case "g" to denote globals. They might have something there.
