Testcase

In an obj-c method, when a block creates and calls a nested block, and the
nested block inherits 'self' from its parent, the value of 'self' in the nested
block may be different than the value in the enclosing block. So far this is
only reproducible when compiling for the iPad (e.g. ARM), and unrelated changes
to the surrounding code can cause this bug to appear and disappear. I've
attached a reduced testcase - it's an Xcode project, as it requires installing
onto an iPad to reproduce. ViewController.m contains the relevant source.

This was compiled using Apple clang version 1.6 (tags/Apple/clang-70) and run
on an iPad running iOS 4.2.1.
