[issue46153] function fails in exec when locals is given

[Steven D'Aprano]

"Expected" is a strong word. It took me a lot of careful reading of the 
documentation and experimentation to decide that, yes, I expect the 
second case to fail when the first case succeeds.

Which reminds me of a common anecdote from mathematics:
