[Maxima] bug? unexpected variable binding

Arguments of Maxima functions have dynamic binding, not lexical.
What you've observed is a consequence of that.
I don't see anything incorrect here (i.e. Maxima is
working as designed).

I agree that dynamic binding sometimes leads to unintended
consequences. I'd like to see lexical binding implemented for
Maxima, although it could be some work.
