I got that swapped around. Correct is: In working version the .string is set in
a block which stretches the whole function / try_block while in the failing
version it is in a separate block. That indicates an extra/too early
finish_block() rather than one too much.

While it makes a bit more sense, I admittedly still fail to understand why
  int .string
  {
     .string = 4
  }
  // use .string
fails whereas the following works:
  int .string
  {
    .string = 4
    // use .string
  }
