On the other hand, ksh93 does it that way, and the pdksh source code contains:
/* ksh functions don't keep assignments, POSIX functions do.

If I read SUSv3 correctly, the echo statement shouldn't have output "1".
Now it's true that in cases like:
$ ksh93 -c 'f() { a=2; }; a=1 f; echo $a'
2
$ bash -c 'f() { a=2; }; a=1 f; echo $a'
$ pdksh -c 'f
3 matches
