If  you used  eval-region, ok,  I  too get  :toto.  But  with C-x  C-e
(ie. eval-last-sexp),  it's the value  in the let  of eval-last-sexp-1
that gets setq'ed, and it's that same value in that let that is passed
to my show function.

Since eval-region is a built-in, it should not shade any lisp variable
I  guess.    Perhaps  eval-last-sexp-1  should   be  implemented  with
eval-region avoiding any variables.
