Setting @State AnyCancellable? to nil doesn't deallocate/cancel?

Does @State keep hidden copies of it's previous values somewhere?

I have a button that starts an async process. The button handler subscribes to a Combine publisher and saves the AnyCancellable in a @State var. Later, a cancel button sets the state var to nil.

Code Block
@State private var mySubscription: AnyCancellable? = nil


When I set that to nil again, the subscription is not deallocated. If I make the simple change of moving mySubscription to a global var, or a property of an observed object, then it works as expected - the subscription is cancelled and deallocated.

(This is SwiftUI 2019, Xcode 11, not the new beta stuff.)
I'm seeing the same behavior and have the same question. I'm using Xcode 12.1. Does anybody know why this occurs?
