Description

Having the following code...

class A {
    String m1() { println 'called m1'; 'm1' }
    String m2() { println 'called m2'; println m1(); 'm2' }
}
a = new A()                                                                                                   
a.metaClass.m1 = { -> println 'pwned m1'; 'o-m1' }                                                            

Calling a.m2() shows...

called m2
called m1
m1
===> m2

...but expected is this:

called m2
pwned m1
o-m1
===> m2

The correct output is shown in Groovy 1.7.x, only Groovy 1.8.0 shows the wrong one.
