Description

playground.groovy

class C {
    def call() {
        42
    }
}

class Container {
    static final staticC   = new C()
    def          instanceC = new C()
}

assert Container.staticC() == 42 // works fine
def container = new Container()
assert container.staticC() == 42 // MissingMethodException
assert container.instanceC() == 42 // MissingMethodException

I'd expect the invocations to fail or to work in both static and instance contexts.
