Forgetting for a second that my explaination is plain wrong... There wouldn't be a difference between 1.2 and 1.3. "retrieve something from the Var" does say nothing about this "retrieval" being cached in some way or not. Even putting the reference directly there and recompiling (or doing some other magic to make Repl development make work again) has basically the same effect. So the description would be valid for 1.2 and 1.3 if the self reference would go through the Var. But as I said: it doesn't.

I'm missing where development is going on in general. Nothing on the mailing list anymore. The last times I lurked #clojure there was no dev talk there. Some stuff seems to be done on dev.clojure.org. But I find it hard to follow this stuff. Clojure has gone "closed development", so to say. (I have no problem with Rich coming up with ideas beyond democratic decisions. In fact I think this non-democracy is a Good Thing. However I'd like to follow what's going...)
