No, you'd have to manually wrap your `cl-loop` with

    (my-workaround-for-cl-loop-bug65833 i
      ...)

:-(

I don't think there can be.

The macroexpander can't know whether the use of a free `i` variable is
part of the official documented behavior of the macro (and hence it's
a bug in the user's code that forgot to let-bind that var) or a bug in
the macro :-(
