Now, if the other page's script calls f() and g(), it will get different

For HTML5, this behaviour has been defined in more detail. The global
object is a Window object. This object is per-Document. The object
returned by the "window" attribute on that global object is actually a
WindowProxy object, which forwards everything to the "current" Window
object.
What do you mean by "current"? Are you proposing to legitimize the dynamic scoping behavior demonstrated by your example?
If all major browsers agree on this bizarre behavior, we will indeed be stuck. But if some existing browsers use lexical capture (i.e., return 1 in both cases), then ES-Harmony should feel free to specify that. What do each of the major browsers do?
