I think this is the key -- it couldn't know whether the functions used 
internally to the timer instance would be aliased by fibonacci() unless 
it had the source to that function.

Did you look at the assembly? It might even be that the compiler 
replaces the call to the function with a pre-calculated value, as it's 
entirely constant. That would surprise me less than a function call 
re-ordering optimization...
