This cannot happen. The parser only generates upvalues for slots
that correspond to actual variables in the source. The called
object is always copied to the first free slot and this slot is
then used as the frame slot.

Oh, and before I forget: resolving of the __call metamethod is
done before the call dispatch. So the frame slot always contains a
pointer to a function object (which makes the tag redundant).
