I see this in Emacs 23.1 onwards, including latest bzr trunk.
emacs -Q
C-h v beg RET
This pops up a *Help* buffer with the contents
beg is void as a variable.
Documentation:
Not documented as a variable.
Similar for `end', `v', and `val'. I think `v' and `val' come from
let-bindings in describe-variable; not sure about `beg' and `end'.
The call to completing-read in describe-variable should do something to
filter out these false completions.
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)

Yup. We could wait for the lexbind branch to be merged, or we can switch
to using lexical-let in that code.

With the latest fix, xs and val are still visible.
