Description
The code below throws an error BoundsError: attempt to access 1-element Array{Float64,1} at index [2], which seems to be a bug. When in the same code PersistentHashMap is replaced with Dict, the code works as expected.
function update()
idx = 1
a = Dict(:a=>0.)
vec = [2.]
results_cases = PersistentHashMap(
case_key =>
begin
@info " " idx
idx += 1
vec[idx-1]
end
for (case_key,case) in a
)
return results_cases
end
update()
(I realize this code in and of itself does not make sense, however, it's part of a bigger piece of code where this kind of code is needed. Regardless this seems like a bug that should be fixed)

Research direction
Start with the reproducer in the issue and compare PersistentHashMap construction with the equivalent Dict construction, focusing on the inline for-loop evaluation and indexing behavior. The issue is done when the reproducer no longer raises the BoundsError and PersistentHashMap behaves consistently with Dict for this case.
