EXIT trap executes too late?

["Bart Schaefer" <schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"The functions beginning `TRAP' may alternatively be defined with the
trap builtin:  this may be preferable for some uses, as they are then
run in the environment of the calling process, rather than in their own
function environment."

That doesn't appear to be true for the EXIT trap:

schaefer<502> function showtrap () {
function> setopt localoptions localtraps
function> x='Global value of $x'     
function> local x='Local value of $x'
function> trap 'print $x' EXIT INT  
function> sleep 5
function> }
schaefer<503> showtrap
<hit C-c>
Local value of $x
Global value of $x
schaefer<504> showtrap
<wait 5 seconds>
Global value of $x
