Here's what I get in version 5.1.0:

In[1]:= f = Compile[{}, Module[{L = {0}}, L[[1]]++; L]]

In[2]:= a = f[]

Out[2]= {1}

In[3]:= b = f[]

Out[3]= {2}

In[4]:= Table[f[], {3}]

Out[4]= {{5}, {5}, {5}}

In[5]:= {a, b}

Out[5]= {{5}, {5}}

Each subsequent call to f uses the modified value of L. This also affects  
Table and all the objects involved in assignments such as x = f[] (but not  
x = f[][[1]]), including DownValues[Out]. The problem might be related to  
deciding whether a and b point to the same shared object.
