Looks reasonable (though is there a particular use case where the
caret diagnostics don't indicate the right variable, etc? that makes
having the name in the diagnostic particularly useful?)

So far as I can tell this doesn't appear to be necessary in either
case. Using DRE->getNameInfo().getName() directly in the
SemaDecl.cpp:6329 situation doesn't regress any tests. I'd be inclined
to change it there & use the same technique for your patch. At least
that way if someone figures out why it was necessary, they'll ought to
be able to add a test.

(consider this sign off, if you like - if you want a more informed
opinion on the LookupResult issue, you could wait for that)
