Yes, that's intended. Otherwise there'd be no way to assign types to 
variables used in genexpr/comprehension scopes.

The rule is: if there is a variable of the same name cdef-ed in the outer 
scope, inherit its type.

Arguably, this leaves a dangling unused variable in the outer scope, but I 
find that a minor issue compared to the problem of declaring a type for the 
inner scope.
