Are you implying that it could/should be fixed?

I have to admit that I ran into the same problem and silently accepted that bind and lambda don't cooperate well. I somehow thought that phoenix would be the successor of lambda, and would solve all these nasty little gotchas (this one is probably solved by using arg1 instead of _1 as placeholder in phoenix).
