[Xotcl] Problem with automatic variable unsetting upon return from an instproc?

I've compiled XOTcl 1.0.2 with Tcl 8.4.4 to create a xotclsh. When I
execute the script below, the traced variables are unset once too few
times. Also, the order of the unsetting seems odd. Am I just confused,
or I have discovered a problem?
Here's the sample output:
russell> xotclsh factorial.xotcl
rhs = 3
rhs = 2
rhs = 1
tracecb "rhs" "" "unset" "2"
tracecb "rhs" "" "unset" "3"
tracecb "f" "" "unset" "::factorial-1"
tracecb "f" "" "unset" "::factorial-0"
3! = 6
>>>> File factorial.xotcl <<<<
proc tracecb { name1 name2 op } {
upvar $name1 var
puts "tracecb \"$name1\" \"$name2\" \"$op\" \"$var\""
}
xotcl::Class factorial;
factorial proc new { args } {
eval my [ my autoname factorial- ] $args
}
factorial instproc compute { rhs } {
puts "rhs = $rhs"
if { $rhs > 1 } {
set f [ factorial new ]
::trace add variable f [list unset] tracecb
set lhs [ $f compute [ expr $rhs - 1 ] ]
} else {
set lhs 1
}
set product [ expr $lhs * $rhs ]
::trace add variable rhs [ list unset ] tracecb
return $product
}
proc main { value } {
set f [ factorial new ]
puts "${value}! = [ $f compute $value ]"
}
main [expr [ llength $argv ] ? [ lindex $argv 0 ] + 0 : 3 ]
