Ancient bug in BASIC 2

There surely is no way to include the C64 backpointer to include a garbage flag, given that there is no C64 backpointer. He might have found a corner case bug in the 3.5/7.0 GC which is not present in the C64 GC, so it still bears looking at if someone with ca65 assembler chops has a look at the differences in variable creation and garbage collection in the C64 GC and C128 basic code on the github.

I'm in the middle of my last semester in Beijing and looking for work in the Fall at the same time, so if I didn't have time mid-semester to transition from acme to ca65 last semester, I definitely don't have the time this semester.
