Description

See https://bitbucket.org/marshallpierce/groovy-subclass-field-lookup-bug for a very small reproduction of the bug (run 'gradle build', look at failing tests).

It appears that looking up fields in parent classes gets confused when the field lookup happens inside an anonymous class created by either parent or child.
