This strikes me as a blocker for 1.6.0 because it is a major regression and surely is not the intended behavior (because as Jochen says, he intends to fix it for the next point release).

While I realize we're all anxious to get a "real" release out there, an interesting phenomenon is that making the RC releases appears to be what it takes to prompt downstream users/developers/testers to try out the new versions of Groovy.

So perhaps an RC every week or two until there are no major issues is the way to get to a good final release.

the issue is now fixed in 1.7.x, 1.6.x and I added a testcase for 1.5.x... I did not yet add the change to 1.6.0
