concatenation operator fails inside cffinally inside a function

Description

if you have a function and are using the local scope inside a try/catch/finally, and use the string concatenation operator, it will generate an error “variable [local] doesn't exist”

 

Proof of concept:

<cffunction name="test"> <cfset local.thing = ""> <cfset local.thing &= "good"> <cftry> <cfset local.thing &= "better"> <cfcatch> <cfset local.thing &= "best"> </cfcatch> <cffinally> <cfset local.thing &= "fail"> </cffinally> </cftry> <cfset local.thing &= "end"> <cfreturn local.thing> </cffunction> <cfoutput>#test()#</cfoutput>

This will throw an error at line 10.

I've checked this ticket and confirmed the issue happened on the lucee latest version 5.3.10.56-SNAPSHOT. Using the compound concatenation operator(&=) in finally block with the local scope prefix throws an error like variable [local] doesn't exist. Seems it works fine in ACF.
Also using the concatenation operator(&) in finally block with/without the local scope prefix works fine in lucee too.

I added a testcase to this ticket
