This reminds me of a problem I ran into sometime last year, though I don't
remember the details. I called it Shroedinger's Variable. (Amusingly, the guy
who brought the bug to my attention turned out to be a physics teacher.)

Something was seemingly undefined at runtime *except* when I used log, writeln,
some other things that required it to be resolved immediately. As if the same
wasn't also necessary for math, evaluation, etc.

It would be interesting to play with different compilation options controlling
the behavior of the JS runtime, though I don't remember what's available. I
don't know if this would be related to eg. JIT or if it's some weird interplay
with the Socket object or what.
