Are compiled maxima functions lexically scoped????

Sigh....
I thought interpreted and compiled maxima functions were supposed
to behave identically but now I see they do not even on very simple
examples.
My very rudimentary testing shows that my favorite examples
f(s,t):=s[t]
and
f(s):=s[1]
seem to behave as expected when compiled whereas they behave strangely
when interpreted (see
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/LexicalLayer).
