shorter test case

This test case narrows down the problem. The issue is the bracket assignment operator, where first the left-hand-side map is evaluated, then the key and the new value, and then the map is augmented.
So if the new value has side effects that modify the LHS map, they are discarded.
Comment 3 Klaus Kämpf 2005-11-29 16:10:42 UTC 
Right Martin. Indeed the lhs was evaluated before the rhs. Fixing this is pretty straightforward. But what will break ?
Comment 4 Klaus Kämpf 2005-11-29 16:13:00 UTC 
Fixed in STABLE.
