Summary: [global :v] makes wrong link

Initial Comment:

% proc test {} {
      global :v
      set v 1
      set :v 2
}
% test
2
% set :v
1

[global] is linking global variable :v
to local variable v, rather than the
correct local variable :v.

Workaround: [global $varName] should
be equivalent to 
[upvar #0 $varName [namespace tail $varName]]
so one could just define it so.
