It came up in a kernel debugging session iirc; it was the case of a function doing a noreturn call, and when you went up to that stack frame, the variable was in one register up through the noreturn call, and then it was in a different register after that noreturn -- so we would print the wrong register value. :/  It takes a bit to get this exact issue, but printing an incorrect value was a worst case failure mode.  The API test case I came up with will only print that the variable is unavailable, instead of the wrong value.
