Description

In the following snippet, the first two statements work as expected,
but the last one throws a MissingPropertyException. It seems to me
that no exceptions should be thrown. This is on Groovy 1.8.4.

class Isser {
   boolean isWorking() { true }
}
class IsserCat {
   static boolean getWorking2(Isser b) { true }
   static boolean isNotWorking(Isser b) { true }
}

use (IsserCat) {
   println new Isser().working
   println new Isser().working2
   println new Isser().notWorking  // Missing property exception...why?
}
