I am new to Rust, but this fix looks like it shouldn't be necessary.
Is the borrow_mut alive for the whole scope of the if let?

PS: I am sure the fix is adequate. I am having a hard time understanding the issue and fix Rust wise.

That's what I assumed also, which is why I ended up writing the bug in the first place 😛

I'd guess it has to do with the scope the value is alive for? Even if a value isn't used, I believe the drop is performed at the end of the scope it lives in. Therefore the old borrow lasted until the end of the if let (or maybe even the outer block) even though it could have been dropped earlier.

@Osspial Any idea why CI is failing? Same for #1511
