This is actually one case where that probably won't work -- some_other_var is a dict that needs a specific key set to object.field's value on each run through the loop, and it seems ridiculous to make a copy of it for each object in object_list.
I think the only solution is going to be a big fancy template tag to update the context -- although that seems like overkill. Does the ticket [1] relating to this need a design decision or just a patch?
