That's a quirky "feature". 
It happens when you have more than one for-loop 
in the same routine, or same file, that uses the 
same loop variable name. Euphoria considers them
to be different variables, but with the same name.

It's usually pretty easy if you look at the trace back.
One or both values will probably be the final value
attained by a for-loop variable. Technically, one or
both loops will have terminated, so the variable(s)
don't exist anymore, and you probably don't care 
what the values are.
