XEmacs's eval-last-sexp also does this (by default) and issues a
warning that the defvar has been treated as a defconst.

As a possibly useful data point, I do not recall seeing a complaint
about this (I've been following the XEmacs developer's list
religiouusly and the newsgroup intermittently since 1997).
