While a compound assignment to a dangling nameref removes the

the same does not happen when using `local' to perform compound
assignment or to set the array or assoc attribute on a dangling
nameref:

Thanks for the report. I don't get the segmentation fault, but converting
an unset nameref into an array or an assoc variable should definitely
remove the nameref attribute.
