Confirmed. It is supposed to work:
"b:NAMESPACE setvariable ARRAY"
"b:CONTROL setvariable ARRAY" <= here
"b:OBJECT setvariable ARRAY"
"b:GROUP setvariable ARRAY"
"b:TEAM_MEMBER setvariable ARRAY"
"b:TASK setvariable ARRAY"
"b:LOCATION setvariable ARRAY"
But it doesnt

After further investigation, CONTROL is limited to map control, and not just any map but static editor map control, whatever this is. So not a bug really, just useless functionality.

Why do you think this is not a bug? This feature is documented and very useful because one can assign value to a control instance so that value lifetime matches control's lifetime (like RAII). What is workaround for this issue? Globals? Monads?

It is not a bug because there is no provision for all controls, just a particular one. I can change this ticket to Feature Request for you
