Hi Toby, I think you are right. What a continuation does (should do) is dump the local variables and restore them before restarting the flow. This means that if you write var a = 1; then create a continuation, when you return to that continuation a should be 1 again, even if in other continuations it has been changed to 2,3 or 4.
There is surely one known limitation to this : if you say var bean = new MyBean(); bean.setX(1); then produce a continuation, then after the continuation you call bean.setX(2), even if you go back to the previous continuation you will find that bean.getX() == 2, because the LOCAL VARIABLE is still your bean, but it's internal state is not manageable by the continuation (more formally, your local variable is a pointer to a bean, which is correctly restored when you go back to the continuation, but the data it points to is not serialized/deserialized by the continuation). But this is not your case, in this case you are setting a simple javascript variable, so it should work as you say, at least AFAIK :) Please, file a bug about it.
