Still unable to reproduce this on my end.

This bit creates the equivalent of a {} block for scoping issues

As the comment points out, this is just like local $0

This sets $0 to directive->filename (setpv_mg so that the magic that
changes argv[0] is performed)

This closes the pseudo-{} block we just created, restoring $0

This is the simplest example I can think of to localize something:

    #define PRINT$0 eval_pv("print STDERR qq(Dollar 0 = $0\n)", 0)

    GV *gv = gv_fetchpv("0", TRUE, SVt_PV);
    PRINT$0;
    ENTER;SAVETMPS;
        PRINT$0;
        save_scalar(gv);
        PRINT$0;
        sv_setpv_mg(GvSV(gv), "Hello XS");
        PRINT$0;
    FREETMPS;LEAVE;
    PRINT$0;

And you'd get:

Dollar 0 = t/Test.t
Dollar 0 = t/Test.t
Dollar 0 =
Dollar 0 = Hello XS
Dollar 0 = t/Test.t

Why? It's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing ...
