It even does a similar thing in old Rebol/Core:
REBOL 2.2.0.3.1

I was sure I hadn't seen this behaviour before, but it does seem to be in
old Core as well. It _is_ unexpected to me, as I had believed that 'second
on a object returned the object's code. second seems to return the storage?
of the object:

b2: [2]
b3: []
