New issue 2710 by [email protected]: Debug: be accurate when evaluate expression tries to reference non-heap variables from outer scope.
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2710

In the following code:

(function() {
  var Number = 2;
  var String = 3;
  return function() {
    debugger;
    return Number;
  };
})()()

when paused on debugger statement try the following watch expression:
[ Number, String ];

Actual:
First array item is '2', but the second item of array is a function. For 'String' sub-expression is unexpectedly bound to a global property rather than to a local variable, like it worked for the 'Number' sub-expression. This is counterintuitive.

Expected:
V8 correctly bounds 'String' to a corresponding local variable. It throws an exception that the variable value is unavailable (alternatively it can actually provide a value, as https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2377 suggests).
