Your example is compliant, as the value of e is not being used.
The amplification says the rule applies to use 'as the source of an assignment', but reference binding is not assignment.
There may be subsequent non-compliances, depending on how eref is used, i.e. any place where the use of e would be non-compliant, is non-compliant if eref is used instead.
The rule should clarify that reference binding is not an assignment, and this will be added in the next version.
