LVTI diagnostics anomaly?

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

In the first case, 's' is a local variable in the code; in the second 
case, 's' is a field, which is why it's not allowed. Does it makes sense?

I understand that, looking at the plain diagnostic output w/o also 
looking at the source might be surprising, but I think in  a real world 
case it would be clear as to why it's not allowed?

Of course the 'not allowed' diagnostic can be improved an 'qualified' a 
bit so that it includes some more context.
