Just curious: why do you need those simple optimizations performed by
byte-optimize-form?

Those vars are not globally bound, i.e. they are only declared with
(defvar <var>) and this only affects the file in which they appear (or
even the scope, in case they appear within a defun body).
So the macro would need to expand to something like
(progn
(defvar byte-compile-free-assignments)
...
(defvar byte-compile-free-references)
(let (...) ...))
if it was meant to be used outside of bytecomp.el.
