It should be as you expected. The control's reference should be 
evaluated in terms of the defaultstack.

However... I just tried your original script statement and it fails no 
matter what the default stack is, or even if you don't bother setting 
the defaultstack at all. I.e., this fails even when the default stack is 
the current topstack, and there is only one stack open:

  put the name of control id 1

I think it's invalid syntax. These work:

   put the name of control 1
   put the id of control 1

But any reference to "control id x" fails. So the issue isn't the 
defaultstack at all.

If no stack is specified as the default, the topstack is used.
