Thanks for the report. I get

./x2: line 2: local: x: not found

BTW, this still seems incorrect, shouldn't it print `declare -n x'?

It's a good question. You're right. The `local -n x' command acts on the
variable inherited from the temporary environment, which already has a
value. So the command is something similar to `local x=x ; local -n x',
and the variable should have the local attribute after the `local -n x'
command, so `local -p x' can find it.
