This is perl6 version 2015.10-16-g2f4bfd8 built on MoarVM version 2015.10

https://gist.github.com/zengargoyle/5324c93684d6f5a376a3

for 1,1,2,2 -> $num, $value {
  ... stuff ...
loop {
  earliest $channel {
  more * { ... $num and $value are both still 1 even on second for loop ... }
  done * { last }
  }
  }
}

On the second time through the surrounding for loop, inside the
earliest block, the lexical $num and $value are still the values from
the first time through the loop.

Github gist has a test case.

The earliest syntax has been removed from Perl 6, and there are plenty of examples of the react/supply/whenever syntax that replaces it and closure semantics, so will reject this one.
