Well, this definitely looks like a bug in R, although I am afraid active
bindings are not a heavily used feature in R, and depending on how hard this is
to fix, it may or may not get priority.

The short term workaround - I'll admit it is a lousy on - is to either put the
whole for()-loop into a local() environment, or to remove the loop index after
using it.

The fallback plan for RKWard is to avoid using active bindings (we happen to
use them for detecting when a symbol has been changed). This has been on my
TODO list for a long time, for performance reasons, but unfortunately it's not
quite trivial to implement...
