Andrew,
I think I see what you are asking now. Yes, the clear-field is the way to correct that. Generally in a loop it should be put at the beginning of the loop body.
BTW, I've considered introducing a protected context to the simple-method implementation (especially for if, iterate, etc bodies), but it would change and complicate how they operate in a number of ways and make it non-backwards compatible. I'm also considered that it would in fact make it more difficult to use for most simple-methods.
