Brian Goetz gives concurrency issues as the reason in his "official"
State of the lambda, section 7:

"It is our intent to prohibit capture of mutable local variables. The 
reason is that idioms like this:

int sum = 0;
list.forEach(e -> { sum += e.size(); });

are fundamentally serial; it is quite difficult to write lambda bodies 
like this that do not have race conditions. Unless we are willing to 
enforce—preferably at compile time—that such a function cannot escape 
its capturing thread, this feature may well cause more trouble than it 
solves."
