Why if it really does? Are you using debugger to verify that?

If g.t is controlled you might need to check what its Adjust does. Is it
deep or shallow copy?

BTW, it is a strange looking design. Provided that get_tree has the copy
semantics, why don't you return the copy, but a pointer to?

function get_tree (g: graph) return tree['Class] is
begin
  return g.t;
end get_tree;
