I agree the task should be placed in the unwind state, since it's a key part of
the environment for the unwind.

This isn't relevant in all cases, and so for now I'd strongly prefer *not* to
have this in the unwind state as it's liable to lead to confusion and get
misused.

These are only relevant for the invocation of the consume_entry() function, and
so similarly I do not think they should be part of the state. It's simpler for
these to be local variables.

I don't like the changes here in particular since they hide the information
flow relevant to each case.
